What your candle isn’t telling you

Good morning friends,

You light a candle to relax...
But that soothing scent?
Might be silently harming your health.

What’s hiding in your favourite candle?

When scented candles burn, they release alkenes —
A compound also found in car exhaust fumes.

Inhaling these can cause:

• Chemical pneumonia

• Chronic lung inflammation

• Hormonal disruption

And it doesn’t stop there...

The hormone connection

Most synthetic candles are made with:

• Paraffins – a byproduct of petroleum

• Phthalates – known endocrine disruptors

These chemicals interfere with:

• Oestrogen

• Testosterone

• Thyroid function

Resulting in fatigue, mood changes, and poor metabolic health.

So what’s the safer swap?

If nature didn’t make it, don’t take it.

Use 100% beeswax candles
Pair with natural essential oils like:

• Lavender

• Eucalyptus

• Chamomile

You still get the cozy glow—minus the invisible harm.
