Paraffin Wax Candles: The Hidden Dangers You Need to Know

When you think of creating a cozy, relaxing vibe at home, lighting a candle probably comes to mind. Candles add warmth, ambiance, and that extra touch of comfort. But here’s the truth: not all candles are safe.

Most store-bought candles are made with paraffin wax, a cheap, petroleum-based by-product, and while they look harmless, they can actually harm your health and the environment.

If you’ve ever wondered why your candles leave black soot on the jar, trigger headaches, or make the air feel heavy, paraffin wax is likely the culprit. Let’s break down why paraffin candles aren’t as innocent as they seem, and why switching to clean-burning coconut apricot wax candles is the healthier choice for your home.

Why Paraffin Wax Candles Are Harmful?

Paraffin wax is widely used because it’s inexpensive and easy to mass-produce. But what you save in dollars may cost you in health and air quality.

1. Toxic Fumes
When burned, paraffin wax releases benzene and toluene, both known carcinogens. These toxic chemicals can lead to headaches, dizziness, nausea, and long-term respiratory issues.

2. Indoor Air Pollution
Paraffin candles emit soot, formaldehyde, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that lower indoor air quality. Breathing them in daily can irritate your lungs, eyes, and throat.

3. Environmental Damage
Because paraffin comes from fossil fuels, its production and burning contribute to a larger carbon footprint, making it harmful to the planet as well as your home.
