If you’re passionate about high-quality candles, you’ve probably come across the term phthalate-free fragrance. But what does it actually mean, and why does it matter for your candles? At Illumina Candle Supplies, we believe that premium-quality fragrance is the foundation of a great candle, and we only source from a top-tier fragrance house to ensure the best possible experience for you and your customers.
Phthalates are a group of chemicals often used to improve the longevity and diffusion of fragrance oils. They are commonly found in personal care products, air fresheners, and yes—some candle fragrances. However, in recent years, concerns have been raised about their potential health and environmental impact. This has led to a growing demand for phthalate-free fragrances, especially in products that are burned or diffused into the air.
At Illumina Candle Suppliers, we prioritise safety and quality without compromising on scent performance. Here’s why we choose phthalate-free fragrance oils for our candle-making community:
Phthalate-free fragrances reduce the risk of releasing potentially harmful chemicals into the air. This is particularly important for people with sensitivities, allergies, or those who prefer eco-conscious, non-toxic products in their homes.
A common misconception is that phthalate-free fragrances are weaker or less effective. This is simply not true when using high-quality ingredients. We work with a premium fragrance house to ensure our scents deliver an exceptional hot and cold throw, meaning your candles smell amazing both when unlit and while burning.
As the candle industry moves toward safer, more sustainable formulations, using phthalate-free fragrance oils helps meet consumer expectations and regulatory guidelines. Many customers actively seek out candles made with cleaner, high-quality ingredients, making it an essential selling point for your brand.
Not all phthalate-free fragrances are created equal. That’s why we source from a premium fragrance house that specialises in high-performance, professional-grade fragrance oils designed for superior scent throw and stability in candles. Our carefully curated range ensures that you can create luxury-quality candles that your customers will love, while also prioritising clean, safe, and sustainable ingredients.
Choosing phthalate-free fragrance oils isn’t just a trend—it’s a commitment to quality, safety, and excellence in candle making. At Illumina Candle Suppliers, we make it easy for you to create premium candles with fragrances that are safe, strong, and sophisticated.
