  Candle Caution The harmful nature of paraffin wax candles. This is by far the most Common type of candle and it's most likely the type you have at Home. Paraffin wax candles are made from petroleum byproducts and Emit toxins (Toleune, Benzene, Formaldehyde, and others) and soot (just as dangerous as second hand smoke) as they burn, which can be Very harmful to your health. Toleune and Benzene are known to be Carcinogenic, or cancer causing. I haven't seen too many arguments In favor of paraffin candles, other than the lower cost, so I steer Completely clear of them and so should you. Another type of candle is Beeswax. These candles contain no Carcinogens or toxins and burn much longer and cleaner than their Paraffin counterparts. The fact that they burn longer helps to Offset their higher cost. So, you're not really spending as much as You might think, since you will get much more use out of the same Sized Beeswax candle. One of the other great things about Beeswax Candles is that when you burn them they emit negative ions into the Air, which actually help to clean the air around you. How's that for A healthy candle? Another popular type of candle is Soy based. Like Beeswax candles, Soy burns longer than paraffin and does not contain any carcinogens Or toxins. Soy has the added benefit of being completely Biodegradable and water soluble. One thing you need to be aware of with both Beeswax and Soy candles Is that you must examine the label to make sure they are 100% Beeswax or Soy. A candle doesn't have to be 100% Beeswax or Soy for The manufacturer to call it that. With cheaper products, they will Often give you a candle that is 50% Soy and 50% paraffin, or some Variation of that.Please examine the label and make sure the candle you choose is 100%
