hey candle lovers there are a few reasons why you might want to swap your candles for something cleaner! according to the EPA, indoor air can actually be 5x more polluted than outdoor air and most candles make it worse. they emit chemicals that are considered just as dangerous as second-hand smoke
⠀
most use synthetic fragrance oils which are a chemical cocktail (watch the @stinkmovie for more info). many waxes are paraffin, which is a petroleum waste product and has to be bleached and chemically-treated to become wax. burning this can release benzene, toluene, soot, and other chemicals.
⠀
even the soy candles might not be the best! soy is the no. 1 genetically modified crop on the PLANET which also means heavily sprayed with pesticides. be wary of candles like the one shown here too, which is a "soy-blend wax" I've also read that even 100% soy candles must be processed with a small amount of paraffin.
⠀
some candle companies still use lead or wicks with heavy metals too not to mention artificial dyes to color the wax.
⠀
I also feel a little iffy about burning essential oils, even if they are pure and organic. the Material Safety Data Sheets on essential oils usually have a statement about essential oil smoke being carcinogenic.
⠀
SWAP TO: BEESWAX CANDLES! they have incredible health benefits. beeswax releases negative ions into the air which bind with toxins and help purify. they are especially helpful for those with allergies or asthma because they effectively remove allergens like dust and dander from the air too.
⠀
also, beeswax burns longer than any other wax! I use @welchcandleco which is local to me out of Madison, WI. they are hand-poured and use locally-sourced pure beeswax bought directly from the farmer. they use organic hemp wicks that are free of lead, zinc, and heavy metals. they give off the most cozy, warm vibe and yummy honey/beeswax scent.

Mujer De La Luz ✨ Woman of Light. Doña Viviana has been making natural bees wax candles in her pueblo for 60 years. Over the last four years we have been fortunate to spend time in her home/workshop to learn about her process. She takes us on her roof to show us pieces of wax left out to bleach in the sun. The natural color of the bees wax is a golden yellow. Viviana and her family use natural dyes such as cochineal and indigo to dye the candles beautiful shades of red, pink, and blue. Viviana is considered one of the Grand Masters of Oaxacan Folk Art, and her candles light the way for many important ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations all over Oaxaca and México. Her energy and personality in luminous— to know her is to love her. We are honored to share her beautiful work with you.
some of my most favorite candles I’ve made so far! lil cauldron babes are made with beeswax & soy wax + filled with energy, crystals & herbs! cleansed with sage, charged with crystal energy, sealed with palo santo!
