PHOS Lyslaboratorium is committed to using only clean, natural materials—biological and organic whenever possible. We strive to ensure that air and respiratory pollutants are minimised when our candles are burned.
Synthetic dyes are entirely produced in laboratories using chemicals that may adversely affect respiratory function when burned. While it would be wonderful to offer candles in exciting colour variations, we prefer our gentle, natural hues, confident in their origins and purity. This lovely green shade, for example, is achieved using dried organic spinach and a small amount of carbonised coconut shell.
Dyeing candle wax with plant-based colours is a complex process. Many plants are water-soluble, which means their pigments are released only in water, not in lipids or waxes. This limits the range of plant-derived colours available to us. Additionally, the natural yellow tint of beeswax—caused by honey and pollen—affects any added dye, often altering the resulting shade.
