Abstract

Currently, aromatherapy candles have become one of the choices for people to start a healthy lifestyle. The therapeutic effects produced from the inhalation process are considered safe. The aim of this research is to obtain a high-quality aromatherapy candle formulation with the addition of palm oil. Candles with the addition of palm oil do not produce smoke when burned. This is what makes the resulting aromatherapy candles better. The tests conducted in this study are organoleptic tests and burn time tests. Palm oil can be formulated inynthesized in aromatherapy candle preparations and is physically stable. The addition of oil to the candle can make the candle's color lighter. The addition of palm oil makes the burn time longer compared to formulations without palm oil. The wax preparation with the longest burn time is formula 4, which has a dominant stearic acid base and the addition of palm oil. Organoleptically, the best wax is the one with formula 6, which is a wax with a mixture of stearic acid base, paraffin, and palm oil. The color produced is homogeneous and the texture of the wax is smooth
