Why Your Candle Ingredients Matter More Than You Think
There is something so comforting about lighting a candle. The gentle flicker, the warm glow, the delicate scent that lingers in the air. But have you ever stopped to consider what is actually in the candle you are burning? Many popular candles on the market are made with paraffin wax and synthetic fragrances, both of which can release harmful toxins into your home. From VOCs like benzene and toluene to synthetic additives that affect your respiratory health and the environment, the ingredients in your candle matter more than most people realise.
Making the switch to natural waxes like soy or beeswax, choosing essential oil-based fragrances, and checking that your wick is made from clean-burning materials might seem like small steps. But they make a world of difference. Not just for your wellbeing, but for the planet too. Think of it as conscious self-care that supports your health and the environment at the same time.
Choose wisely, breathe freely, and let your home glow with intention.
