Yes Candles Can Be Toxic.

Yes Candles Can Be Toxic.

Walking through the scented candle isle taking in your favorite scents and the latest seasonal candles?  You may want to look into the ingredients of your favorite candle the next time you pick up a candle. 

 

Why switch to non toxic candles?

Ingredients to watch out for: artificial fragances, paraffin (wax), wicks

 

Paraffin wax is bad for your health because of the soot that can be inhaled & can cause damage to the inside of your house, computers, duct work, and electrical appliances. Carefully check labels because many candles contain a blend of beeswax, coconut or soy & paraffin wax and are advertised as "natural". 

The "fragrance" in candles can be made from synthetic and harmful material.

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for their medicinal and health purposes.  They have detoxifying, anti bacterial, anti viral properties that promote well being.
