Candles assist in setting the mood. They can spark old memories. They can help you relax and unwind. They can help provide the perfect atmosphere for a special evening. And over the holidays candles are always a welcome addition. Scented candles have unique properties that enhance our senses. Many big box stores have a tremendous selection of candles. Many are paraffin wax. You will also see soy and possibly other types of wax. Paraffin wax is made with petroleum products. And with rare exception there is no information on the fragrances or colorant chemicals. Some smell great and some have a phony chemical essence. Paraffin releases low levels of benzene and toluene. Both are toxic. And some fragrance oils contain Vanillin and Phthalates. Vanillin has been known to contribute to migraine headaches while Phthalates can promote allergic symptoms and asthma. We do not condemn any use of these chemicals by others. However, We are proud to offer you a safe alternative and fully disclose its contents.
