The Hidden Risks of Paraffin Candles
Many store-bought candles are made from paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct. When burned, paraffin candles can release chemicals like toluene and benzene—known irritants that may affect indoor air quality. For families with kids, pets, or anyone with sensitivities, these hidden risks are worth considering.
What Makes a Candle “Non-Toxic”?
A truly non-toxic candle is made from plant-based waxes and fragrance oils that are free from carcinogens, phthalates, and other harmful additives. Look for candles with certifications from reputable suppliers and transparent ingredient lists.
Coconut Soy Wax: The Family-Friendly Alternative
At Sentimental Flames, we use coconut soy wax for every candle. Why?
- It’s plant-based, biodegradable, and renewable
- Burns cleaner and longer than paraffin
- Produces minimal soot—better for your home and your lungs
- Safe for kids, pets, and health-conscious families
Why Fragrance Oil Quality Matters
Not all fragrance oils are created equal. We source ours from America, which means:
- No carcinogens, reproductive toxins, or acute toxins
- Backed by supplier certificates for peace of mind
- Scents are designed to evoke memories—without compromising your health
