Your Candles Are Toxic
But They Don’t Have to Be! 🕯️
You love lighting candles to create a cozy atmosphere…
Maybe you light one while sipping your morning coffee, setting the perfect slow start to your day. Or maybe you love the soft flicker of candlelight during a relaxing bath, making you feel like the main character in a self-care movie.
Candles make everything better. They set the mood for romantic dinners, add warmth to gloomy days, and turn any space into a sanctuary of peace. Oh, and let’s not forget the joy of lighting a candle after finally cleaning your apartment—because yes, now it smells clean too.
But what if I told you that your favorite candles might be polluting your home more than a traffic jam in the middle of summer?
Wait… My Candles Are What?! 😨
Yep. Many store-bought candles are loaded with toxic ingredients that can harm your health. Here’s why:
🚨 Paraffin Wax: Most cheap candles are made from paraffin, a byproduct of petroleum. When burned, it releases toxic chemicals like toluene and benzene (both known carcinogens…).
🚨 Synthetic Fragrances: That "Warm Vanilla Sugar" scent you love? It’s probably filled with phthalates—chemicals linked to hormone disruption and respiratory issues.
So What Happens When You Burn These Candles?
Think about this: You light a candle in your bedroom, close the windows, and snuggle in with your book and tea. After an hour, you’ve unknowingly inhaled a cocktail of chemicals that can trigger headaches, allergies, and even worsen asthma. Not very cozy and romantic, right?
But don’t worry—I come bearing good news.
The Difference Between Natural vs. Synthetic Candles
🔥 Paraffin candles: Release toxins, create soot, and pollute your indoor air.
🔥 Natural candles (like coconut wax or beeswax): Burn clean, last longer, and even purify the air.
💨 Synthetic fragrance candles: Contain artificial scents that can trigger allergies.
💨 Natural candles (scented with essential oils): Provide therapeutic benefits like relaxation and stress relief.
💡 Cheap, mass-produced candles: Often contain questionable ingredients and burn unevenly.
💡 Hand-poured, natural candles: Made with high-quality wax and wick materials for a clean, even burn.
At CocoBee, we believe candles should make your home feel like a sanctuary—not a science experiment. That’s why we handcraft our candles using:
✅ Beeswax & Coconut Wax (clean-burning, sustainable, and long-lasting!)
✅ Cotton and Cherry Wood Wicks (no lead, no toxic fumes)
✅ Pure Essential Oils (because synthetic fragrances are so last season)
So next time you light a candle, ask yourself: Is this filling my home with coziness… or chemicals?
