“Clean-burning” simply means a candle is free of toxic chemicals (think phthalates, lead, and petroleum) from their wax, fragrance, and even their wick. What most people don’t realize is that burning many store bought candles can be harmful to your health.
Many candles are made of paraffin wax (a petroleum waste product that is chemically bleached), which creates highly toxic benzene and toluene (both are known carcinogens) when burned. Our naturally derived Coconut/Soy wax blend burns clean, meaning it does not produce black soot while burning which releases harmful chemicals and toxins into the air.
Many candles are made from synthetic fragrances which usually contain phthalates, but our "Clean" scents do not.
✖ Carcinogens: materials known or thought to cause cancer.
✖ Mutagens: materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell and causing diseases like cancer.
✖ Reproductive toxins: adversely affect reproductive organs and increase the risk of birth defects.
✖ Organ Toxins: can cause adverse effects or disease within specific bodily organs.
✖ Acute Toxins: can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion.
Lastly, many wicks are known to contain traces of lead in their cores (especially those from China and Thailand), however all of our candle wicks are constructed from all-natural, ring-spun cotton and are metal free.
We want only the safest, cleanest candles for our customers so we stay on top of the latest research, rigorously test every candle, and purchase only the safest supplies on the market. Our mission is simple: peace of mind for YOU while using our products in your homes, and around your loved ones.
