Many popular candles are made from paraffin wax, which comes from crude oil. Here's what you need to know:
🛢️ Paraffin Wax: Abundant and cheap, but not biodegradable Emits harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene when burned Releases 3.5 kilos of carbon dioxide per kilo, affecting air quality High CO2 levels can cause headaches, dizziness, and more Contains chemicals also found in diesel fuel emissions, causing allergies and asthma 🌸
Fragrances: A single 'fragrance' can have hundreds of artificial ingredients Often include phthalates, linked to fertility issues and increased cancer risk
🎨 Dyes: Common candle dyes contain petroleum-based ingredients that can irritate skin and harm fertility. ✨
