“I personally love candles, however they can be a supply of carcinogens, like benzene, toluene, formaldehyde, and phthalates,” says Chen. These airborne particles may be dangerous to well being in excessive doses, all of that are dangerous to well being in excessive doses. Research has shown1 that burning a candle at house is unlikely to emit sufficient particulate matter to hurt well being, however throughout the colder months whenever you are likely to hold your home windows closed (aka, proper about now), it might create extra of a vortex impact. That doesn’t imply you need to keep away from candles solely. Chen’s resolution? “You can search for soy or beeswax. Those are higher,” she notes. If you do go for beeswax, simply ensure that it’s 100% on the label; many candles embrace a mix of paraffin and one other wax however will name it a “beeswax.” As for perfume, search merchandise with 100% naturally derived important oils, are phthalate-free, or additional clarify the “perfume” to be pure and non-toxic. I personally adore all of Brooklyn Candle Studio’s merchandise, particularly this (*3*) Forest mix.
