Essential Oils vs. Candles
The harsh truth is most candles are toxic. They contain ingredients like paraffin wax (a petroleum waste product). When lit, carcinogens like benzene, toluene, and others release into the air. These are the same chemicals that are found in diesel fuel flames and can be as dangerous as second-hand smoke. The wick’s are often made of heavy metals like lead. And then there’s fragrance– further adding to the chemical cocktail. Even candles that claim to be “natural” or “eco-friendly” can greenwash consumers into thinking these products are safe.
