Orange Essential Oil Scented Candle Ingredient Facts

While orange scented candles can be made by blending orange essential oil with other essential oils, remember to combine it with one that does not overpower the natural goodness of this citric oil.

Here we share the recipe to make your orange scented candles using Cassia essential oil. But before that, here is a quick review of the main ingredients used in making these candles.

Orange Essential Oil: Loaded with citrus fruits' natural aroma and essence, orange essential oil calms and relaxes the muscles, reducing anxiety and stress. It acts as a natural sedative that calms down your senses and creates a warm ambiance.

Cassia Essential Oil: With a sweet and spicy aroma, cassia essential oil makes the environment warm, inviting, and pleasant. It reminds you of sweet-smelling cinnamon rolls and instantly lifts your mood.

Soy Wax: Soy wax is free from soot and toxins, making them the first choice in homemade candles rather than paraffin wax loaded with chemicals. Soy wax, with its soft nature and composition, does not overpower the scent of essential oils like paraffin wax.

Beeswax: Beeswax melts at the same rate as soy wax, making a smooth mix. When in the solid state, it appears to be pale yellow, but it imparts a pure white color on melting.

Wick: I always prefer a long wick if you make a large and tall candle. Wax-coated wicks make your work easier and allow easy and long-burning of the candles.

Jar: Choose a glass jar with a lid when making scented candles. It allows you to close the lid when the candle is not burning and restores the freshness and aromas of the scented candles.
