How To Find Non-Toxic Candles

Lighting a candle can be a simple way to de-stress and create the perfect ambiance for self-care, but did you know that they can come with a host of unwanted side effects?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yes – candles can be toxic! Look for these things...

1

Fragrance-free or 100% Essential Oils Only If the brand does not specify 100% essential oils, they likely use a synthetic fragrance blend.

2

Paraffin-Free Wax Opt for 100% soy, 100% coconut, 100% beeswax, or a mixture of these three.

3

100% Unbleached Cotton or 100% Unprocessed Wood Wicks Avoid all metal-core wicks and instead opt for wicks with a cellulose core.
