What is the temperature of a low temperature candle?

The temperature of low-temperature candles is usually between 40-50 degrees Celsius, depending on the candle material and usage scenario. Low temperature candles are specially designed for human body safety to avoid high temperature burns on the skin.

Low-temperature candles use specially formulated wax with a melting point controlled within the range of 40-50 degrees Celsius. The burning temperature of ordinary candles can reach 80-100 degrees Celsius, while low-temperature candles lower the melting point by adding soy wax, beeswax and other ingredients. When the wax drips onto the skin, it will feel warm but will not cause burns. Some brands will mark specific temperature parameters. Commonly, there are three levels available: 42 degrees Celsius, 45 degrees Celsius and 48 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference is mainly related to the consistency of the wax. Thinner wax has a slightly lower temperature, and thicker wax has better thermal insulation. Before use, you can test the temperature on the inside of your wrist to ensure you feel comfortable. Avoid tilting the candle at an excessive angle to prevent concentrated wax dripping. It is recommended to use a special candle extinguisher when extinguishing candles to reduce smoke generation. It should be placed in a cool place when stored. High temperature environment may cause candles to deform.

When using low-temperature candles, keep the environment ventilated and keep away from flammable items. Those with sensitive skin can apply a small amount of emollient oil as a protective layer before use. If redness, swelling or stinging occurs, stop use immediately and rinse with cold water to cool down. Regularly trim the candle wick to about 5 mm to ensure stable burning. Choose regular brand products and avoid using low-quality candles that contain lead or industrial wax. When couples use it, they need to communicate the safe word in advance to build trust and tacit understanding. It is recommended that the candle burning time be controlled within 20 minutes. Long-term use may cause the wax liquid to overheat. After use, you can use warm water to clean the remaining wax stains on your skin without wiping hard.
