In recent years, candles have become more than just a source of light; they are now an essential element in creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in our homes. However, many people are unaware of the potential health risks associated with burning candles made from certain materials and fragrances. Popular brand candles, often laden with toxins, can contribute to headaches and other health issues. This has led to a growing interest in cleaner and safer alternatives, such as candles made with coconut apricot wax and non-toxic fragrances, like those offered by A. M. Earth Creations Candle Co.


The Hidden Hazards of Traditional Candles

While candles from well-known brands may be pleasing to the senses, the waxy truth lies beneath the surface. Conventional candles are typically made from paraffin wax, derived from petroleum, which releases harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene when burned. Inhaling these pollutants can lead to headaches, dizziness, and even respiratory issues over time.


Moreover, many popular candles are infused with synthetic fragrances that often contain phthalates – chemicals linked to disruptions in hormonal balance and potential long-term health concerns. As we enjoy the ambiance created by these candles, we unknowingly expose ourselves to a cocktail of harmful substances.
