There’s something undeniably magical about lighting a candle. The soft, flickering glow. The subtle scent that dances through the room. Candles transform any space into a haven of warmth and serenity.
But what are you really breathing in when that candle burns? For too long, many of us have unknowingly invited toxins into our homes, compromising the very air we treasure. It's time to illuminate the truth about conventional candles—and discover how Aduwham's luxury vegan candles can transform your space into a clean, beautiful sanctuary you deserve.
What’s Really Burning in Your Home?
Not all candles are created equal. Beneath the pleasing aromas and enchanting colors of mass-produced candles, dangerous ingredients may be lurking. Here’s what might be hiding in your favorite scented candles—and why it matters.
Paraffin Wax
Most conventional candles are made with paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum refining (yes, the same substance that fuels your car). When burned, paraffin candles release harmful chemicals such as benzene and toluene, both known carcinogens. These invisible intruders can pollute your indoor air and detract from the sanctuary you wish to create.
Synthetic Fragrances
That enticing “Vanilla Bliss” or “Ocean Breeze”? It might owe its appeal to synthetic fragrances laced with phthalates. These chemicals, often found in artificial scents, have been linked to hormone disruption, allergies, and respiratory irritation.
Metal-Core Wicks
Some candles use wicks with metal cores to keep them upright. However, when burned, these wicks may release trace amounts of heavy metals, such as lead, into your home. Even minimal exposure to such toxins can pose long-term risks.
Soot Damage
If you’ve noticed a faint black residue on your walls or furniture after burning candles, that’s soot—a result of inefficient combustion. Soot particles can worsen indoor air quality and even cause respiratory issues over time.
Artificial Dyes
The vibrant colors of many candles are created using synthetic dyes, which can release unknown and potentially harmful compounds when heated.
When it comes to candles, the details matter. It’s not just about the flame you see—it’s about what you don’t see.
