When you make the decision to seek out a "non-toxic candle," you are prioritizing your health and the well-being of your home. It is a conscious choice. The next step, finding where to buy them, can feel like a challenge. How do you know who to trust?
While a search for local spots can point you to some wonderful makers, the most reliable way to get a truly non-toxic candle is to buy directly from a brand that has built its entire philosophy on purity and transparency.
The Non-Toxic Checklist
Before you buy, here is a quick refresher on [what makes a candle truly non-toxic]. A truly non-toxic candle must have all three of these components:
-
A Pure, Natural Wax: 100% pure beeswax is the gold standard. It is non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, and a natural air purifier.
-
A Clean, Untreated Wick: An all-natural wood or cotton wick with no chemical treatments or metal cores.
-
A Phthalate-Free Fragrance: The scent must be certified free of phthalates and other harmful chemicals.
The Challenge of Shopping General Stores
You might find candles labeled "natural" at a general home goods store or even a health food store. However, these shops are not specialists. They may carry "beeswax blends" that contain other waxes, or soy candles with fragrances that are not guaranteed to be phthalate-free. The responsibility often falls on you, the customer, to investigate the true quality of each product.
