With so many different types of candles around, so many different scents and price ranges, it's easy to get lost in the smell of it all, but ‘clean’ natural candles are what is best for you and the environment.
It's hard not to be seduced by bright colours, strong smells and cheap price tags, but check the label, if you see paraffin, then steer clear, why? Let us explain…
Paraffin wax (AKA Mineral Wax)
- Made from petroleum as a by-product of making gasoline
- Emits soot particles when burned, similar to those released from a diesel engine
- Damages your health. Adds toxic carcinogens into the air you breath
- Not sustainable, as fossil fuels cannot be renewed
- Burns quickly
Definitely, not good!
When on the pursuit for a candle for a gift or to indulge yourself with, look out for key words like natural, botanical and soy, coconut, beeswax, these are the 3 main wax ingredients used in clean candles and here is why…
- All natural with zero chemical compounds
- Non toxic. Emits zero by-products when it burns
- Is a sustainable, renewable resource
- Naturally neutralises odours in surrounding areas
- Burns slowly
- An all natural product
- Non toxic. Emits zero soot particles when burnt
- A renewable natural source, made from oil from the soybean
- Burns 40-50% slower than paraffin candles
- Non toxic. Emits zero soot particles when burnt
- A sustainable and renewable resource
- Smokeless burn
- It's a non-GMO product
- Burns slower and longer
Much better!
