We all love the cozy ambiance that candles create, but did you know that not all candles are created equal? Let’s shed some light on what might be hiding in your favorite scented candles and why making mindful choices matters for your wellbeing.
What's Really Burning in Your Home?
Many mass-produced candles contain ingredients that can compromise your health and the environment. Let’s unpack a few common culprits:
Paraffin Wax: Paraffin is one of the most widely used candle materials. It’s derived from petroleum (yes, the stuff that fuels your car). When burned, paraffin candles release toxic chemicals like benzene and toluene. These are known carcinogens and can contribute to poor indoor air quality.
Synthetic Fragrances: While that “Vanilla Bliss” scent might smell heavenly, synthetic fragrances often contain phthalates, which are linked to hormone disruption and respiratory issues.
Metal-Core Wicks: Some cheaper candles use wicks with metal cores to keep them upright. These wicks can release trace amounts of heavy metals like lead when burned, posing risks to your health.
Soot Damage: The black soot from burning candles can stain walls and furniture, and worsen indoor air quality.
Artificial Dyes: The bright colors in some candles are created with artificial dyes that may have unknown health impacts.
