Burning beeswax candles actually cleans your air instead of adding endocrine disrupting, cancer-causing toxins to it like scented paraffin wax candles do. When your endocrine system is disrupted, your hormones are greatly affected which leads to health problems like reproductive disorders, metabolic issues (obesity, diabetes), neurological complications, thyroid and immune system disturbances and even an increased risk of many cancers. These chemicals interfere with hormones function by mimicking or blocking hormone activity, growth, metabolism, and reproduction across the lifespan, from prenatal stages through adulthood!

Burning beeswax candles helps to clean the air by emitting negative ions that bind to positive ions, like dust and allergens, causing them to settle out of the air. This process leads to a cleaner, fresher smelling environment, especially benefiting those with allergies or asthma.

Alternatively, scented candles, particularly those made from paraffin wax, release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when burned, including benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde, which are known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.

In addition to these, other VOCs like acetaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can also be emitted.

The type of wax, fragrance and wick can all contribute to the release of these chemicals.

Yankee candle makes almost $1 billion per year in sales and the VAST majority of their candles are scented, paraffin wax candles. You’re quite literally paying to poison yourself, your animals and your family.

Check out the comments section - I will put a breakdown of the full health impacts of each of the VOCs released by these toxic candles.
