Are non-toxic candles really safer?

Ah, where to start with the lies!

It’s tough because, let’s face it, no one likes to admit they’ve been duped. And in today’s world, why do your own research when you can just repeat what you’ve seen on TikTok?

Well, we applaud you for being here, ready to sift through the marketing nonsense and get to the truth.

You’ve probably seen it all before—candles marketed as “non-toxic,” “clean burn,” or “eco-friendly.” These buzzwords are often thrown around by the wellness industry to make you feel like you’re paying for something that’s not just a candle, but a lifestyle upgrade.

But here’s the kicker: they’re not telling you the whole truth.

The “non-toxic” and “clean burn” narrative? It’s often a load of hot air. These labels were created to make you feel better about spending more on candles, when in reality, you’re not breathing in toxic fumes unless you’re setting fire to the entire house.

We’ve done our homework, and the truth is that no candle wax, paraffin or otherwise, is inherently dangerous when used properly.

Let’s clear the air (pun intended): “non-toxic” candles do exist, but the term is misleading. What makes a candle "toxic" or "non-toxic" isn’t just about the wax, but how the candle is made, including the quality of the wick, fragrance oils, and burn environment.

That’s why we’re here to give you the facts. We’re not in the business of fear-mongering or jumping on wellness trends. Instead, we believe in transparency—because life’s too short for common scents and misleading marketing.

So buckle up and join us as we dismantle these myths one by one, giving you the lowdown on what really matters when it comes to burning candles safely.
