For the first time in human history, independent studies found a single scented candle can flood a room with over a million pollution particles, on par with a running diesel engine. And it comes down to what the candle is actually paraffin. The wax in most scented candles isn't really wax at all. It's the sludge left behind after crude oil is refined into gasoline, then bleached and perfumed until it looks clean. So every time you light one, you're melting petroleum and breathing the greasy black carbon that throws off. And that scent you love is synthetic fragrance, dozens of chemicals hidden under one word: phthalates. Linked to hormone disruption, drifting straight into the air you breathe. The wax warms. On Pura, paraffin candles like Yankee Candle, Clean Cotton, flag for petroleum and hidden fragrances. While a pure beeswax candle comes back clean. Fontana Candle Co. Pure Unscented Candle. Comment Pura to see what you're breathing.
