✨ Why Choose Healthy Candles? ✨
Not all candles are created equal. Many store-bought options contain paraffin wax (a byproduct of petroleum), synthetic fragrances, and metal-based wicks that can release toxins into the air. If you love the cozy glow of candles but want a healthier option for your home, here’s what to look for:
🌿 Natural Wax – The best healthy candles are made from renewable, biodegradable waxes like soy, coconut, or beeswax. These burn cleaner and last longer than paraffin.
🌸 Non-Toxic Scents – Instead of artificial fragrances, healthy candles use essential oils or phthalate-free fragrance oils, which provide beautiful aromas without harsh chemicals.
🕯 Clean Wicks – Cotton or wood wicks are the healthiest choices. They don’t contain lead or heavy metals and produce less soot when burning.
💡 Small-Batch Crafting – Many artisan candle makers hand-pour their candles in small batches to ensure quality, balance of scent, and clean ingredients.
How They’re Made:
1. Wax is gently melted and blended with natural oils or essential oils.
2. A cotton or wooden wick is placed inside a glass or ceramic vessel.
3. The melted, scented wax is carefully poured around the wick.
4. Once cooled and set, the candle is trimmed, labeled, and ready to brighten your space—without polluting your air.
✨ Lighting a healthy candle means you can enjoy the warm glow and soothing aroma while knowing you’re making a safer, more sustainable choice for your home and well-being.
