  1. WHAT MAKES A CANDLE ‘CLEAN’ OR ‘TOXIC’?

  2. WHY CANDLE SAFETY MATTERS Candles are a staple in many homes—for ambiance, scent, and relaxation. But not all candles are created equal. Some may release harmful toxins when burned.

  3. Page 03 WHAT IS A ‘CLEAN’ CANDLE? Non-toxic, safe to burn indoors. 01 Made from natural waxes like soy, coconut, or beeswax. 02 Uses cotton or wood wicks (lead-free). 03 Scented with essential oils or IFRA-certified fragrance oils. 04 Free from synthetic dyes, phthalates, and paraffin byproducts. 05

  4. Paraffin Wax 01 Derived from petroleum, can release harmful chemicals like toluene and benzene. WHAT MAKES A CANDLE ‘TOXIC’? Lead-Core Wicks 02 Though banned in many countries, some cheap imports still use them. Synthetic Fragrance Oils 03 Can contain phthalates, which are endocrine disruptors. Dyes & Additives 04 Some use heavy metals and formaldehyde-releasing compounds. Poor Ventilation 05 Even clean candles can produce soot if misused.

  5. WHY PARAFFIN WAX IS CONTROVERSIAL Made from crude oil leftovers. Studies show burning paraffin emits potentially dangerous chemicals. Can irritate the respiratory system in sensitive individuals. Widely used due to low cost—but not the best for health or air quality. 01

  6. THE BETTER ALTERNATIVES: CLEAN WAXES Soy Wax: Renewable, biodegradable, burns clean and slow. Beeswax: Naturally purifies the air, long burn time, subtle honey scent. Coconut Wax: Ultra-clean burn, high fragrance throw, eco-friendly. These waxes are all considered non- toxic and safer for indoor use. 01

  7. WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A CLEAN CANDLE ✅ 100% soy, beeswax, or coconut wax ✅ Cotton or wooden wick ✅ Phthalate-free fragrance ✅ No synthetic dyes ✅ Transparent ingredient list ✅ IFRA-compliant or essential oils 01 02

  8. CANDLE LABELS TO WATCH OUT FOR “Natural” or “green” doesn’t always mean safe. Look for actual certifications (IFRA, vegan, cruelty-free). Avoid candles without full ingredient disclosure. Choose brands that share wick type, wax source, and fragrance safety. 01 02

  9. HOW TO BURN CANDLES SAFELY AT HOME Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn. Let the wax pool fully on the first burn. Don’t burn for more than 4 hours. Keep away from drafts and flammable items. Never leave unattended.

  10. CONCLUSION – CLEAN OVER CONVENIENCE Clean candles may cost a bit more— but they protect your air, your health, and the planet. Make conscious choices for a safer, more soothing home experience. Your lungs—and your family—will thank you!
