Stop buying TOXIC candles!
Conventional candles are typically made from paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale. When this wax is burned it can release various harmful compounds and particles into the air such as benzene and toluene. Benzene is a known carcinogen, and exposure to it has been linked to cancer and other health issues.
Instead look for candles made from natural ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, 100% pure essential oils, and unbleached cotton wicks Choosing the right ingredients for your candles is key. Steering clear of synthetic fragrances, artificial dyes, and petrochemicals is essential.
