Here we are going to outline what plant-based candles are, and how they compare to paraffin and beeswax candles.
Why we say NO to Paraffin;
Paraffin candles are cheap because they are a by-product of the petroleum industry. That is pretty much all we can say that is positive about paraffin wax. Not only does paraffin emit soot, but also researchers in the world say paraffin candles can even be harmful to your health. Paraffin candles also give off black soot and burn so hot that they can burn the skin if spilt. All in all, best to leave them alone. Unlike paraffin candles, plant-based candles don’t release toxic carcinogens into the air. Also unlike paraffin, they are made from a renewable source and are biodegredable. Plant based candles burn 30-50% longer and of course cleaner than paraffin and have 95% less soot.
Paraffin wax candles are particularly infamous for a dirty burn that can damage the walls of your house when burned consistently.
Of course, the toxins released by a low-quality candle are also a concern and cotton wicks can sometimes be laced with metals such as zinc that then get released into the atmosphere and our lungs.
Why we say NO to Beeswax;
We all know that bees are in decline and we need to take better care of them. We also know that there are some amazing properties associated with products produced by bees such as honey and beeswax. Surely there are far better uses fort his incredibly powerful natural Product than burning it! Also know that they are not good for use in scented candles, because they have their own honey-like smell.
