Candle News from the Independent
Sharing information is important, especially when it concerns health, skin care, even candles.
For a while I’ve been spreading the news that paraffin candles can release unwanted chemicals, and now The Independent has written about scientists which have completed a study confirming that dangerous chemicals are released into your atmosphere when paraffin candles are alight.
Researchers for the American Chemical Society observed that “Burning candles does not produce high enough temperatures to combust the heavy molecules contained in paraffin wax completely. This led to the formation and emission of hazardous molecules.”
Soy candles are my candle of choice for so many reasons, they’re longer lasting, hold more fragrance but most
importantly they are completely safe to use in your home.
