Candles are often seen as a simple pleasure - the soft glow, the calming fragrance, the atmosphere they bring. But not all candles are created equal. Many traditional candles are made from paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product that can release harmful chemicals when burned. As awareness grows, more people are turning to non-toxic candles as a safer, healthier way to enjoy home fragrance.
At Aery Living, we believe your wellbeing should never be compromised by the products you use in your home. That’s why our candles are made with soy wax blends, essential oils, fragrance oils and cruelty-free ingredients, offering a clean and restorative burn. Let’s explore why non-toxic soy candles are the healthier choice for you, your loved ones, and your space.
What Are Non-Toxic Candles?
A non-toxic candle is one that avoids harmful ingredients and emissions. Traditional paraffin candles can release substances like benzene and toluene, which are linked to indoor air pollution. In contrast, non-toxic candles use natural, plant-based waxes, cotton wicks, and safe fragrance blends.
- Plant-based waxes (such as soy, coconut, or rapeseed)
- Lead-free cotton wicks
- Fragrances free from parabens, phthalates, and synthetic toxins
This makes them better not only for your health but also for the environment.
Why Traditional Candles Can Be Problematic
Toxins Released by Paraffin
Paraffin wax is derived from petroleum. When burned, it can release small amounts of potentially harmful chemicals, contributing to poor indoor air quality.
Soot and Residue
Paraffin candles often produce black soot, which can stain walls, ceilings, and furniture — and more importantly, irritate lungs.
Hidden Animal Products
Some traditional candles use beeswax or animal-derived stearic acid, making them unsuitable for vegans.
The Benefits of Non-Toxic Candles
- Healthier for You and Your Family: Non-toxic soy candles release no harmful toxins, making them a safer option for children, pets, and households with respiratory sensitivities.
- Clean Burn: Soy wax candles burn more evenly and cleanly than paraffin, reducing soot and pollutants.
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Soy wax is renewable, biodegradable, and far better for the planet than paraffin.
- Long-Lasting: Soy candles last longer than paraffin candles, giving better value while being kinder to the environment.
- Fragrance That Nourishes Wellbeing: Infused with essential oils, non-toxic candles create calming, grounding, or uplifting atmospheres depending on the scent.
Choosing Non-Toxic Candles for a Healthier Home
- Look for labels such as soy candles, vegan candles, and phthalate-free fragrances.
- Avoid candles with synthetic dyes and wicks that contain metal cores.
- Choose brands that prioritise sustainability and transparency.
