Here’s Why You Should Stop Using Scented Candles And Use Diffusers Instead!
Most companies use paraffin wax to create candles which gives off toxic chemicals that can be considered as toxic as second-hand smoke. Besides that, the material wicks are made of is equally important. Some wicks contain metals like lead. When burnt for a few hours, it creates a high level of airborne heavy metals which is beyond the acceptable standard.
However, not all candles are dangerous. Candles which are soy-based or made from beeswax are generally safe. On top of that, beeswax candles even have the property to help reduce air pollution in your house because of its negative ions!
