Scented candles are packed with paraffin (linked to liver damage, leukemia and neurological problems) and synthetic chemicals listed as “fragrance” (linked to allergies, dermatitis, and respiratory distress).
To help you breathe easier, we present these amazing candles that smell fresh, lovely, luscious—and have nothing to hide. Made with essential oils and the purest beeswax available, these beautiful pillars have absolutely no paraffin, fragrance, or synthetic scents. It’s best to throw your conventional candles in the trash.
Beeswax candles, on the other hand, actually purify the air! Burning a beeswax candle gives off negative ions, creating a similar effect to a houseplant. Negative ions neutralize bad positive ions such as allergens and toxins in the air.
