Are birthday candles low temperature candles?

Birthday candles are usually not low-temperature candles and their burning temperature is similar to ordinary candles. Low-temperature candles specifically refer to special craft candles with a melting point below 50 degrees Celsius, which are mostly used in aromatherapy or physical therapy scenarios.

Ordinary birthday candles are made of paraffin or mixed wax. When burning, the flame temperature can reach 140-200 degrees Celsius, and contact with the skin may cause burns. Its design focuses on color and shape, and its burning time is short, usually 3-5 minutes. Keep away from flammable materials when using. Children need to be used under adult supervision to avoid burns caused by dripping wax oil.

Professional low-temperature candles use natural materials such as soy wax and beeswax, and add cooling agents to control the melting point below 45 degrees Celsius. The burning temperature of this type of candle is about 50-60 degrees Celsius, and it will not cause harm when it comes into contact with the skin for a short time. It is often used to assist massage or create atmosphere. When purchasing, be sure to look for the low-temperature certification mark in the product description to avoid mistakenly using ordinary candles as low-temperature candles.

Whether it is an ordinary candle or a low-temperature candle, you should pay attention to the ventilation environment when using it to avoid burning for a long time. People with sensitive skin are advised to conduct a small-scale test before using low-temperature candles. If you are accidentally burned by wax oil, you should immediately rinse with cold water for 15 minutes. Severe burns require prompt medical treatment. Daily storage of candles should be away from high temperature environments to prevent deformation or spontaneous combustion.
