Non Toxic Scented Candles and Organic Candles: Options for a Healthy House
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- Once upon a time I was the QUEEN of scented candles. I had them for every season and every occasion and I LOVED stock-piling them, burning them, giving them as gifts, shopping for them -- I love it all. Our house had that underlying fragrance of scented candles ALL the time -- and unknowingly, I absolutely loved it. So what changed and why did I ditch these toxic ambiance creators and instead go for organic candles?
Well, through a series of life events and finally opening my eyes to what was actually in the candles I had at home, I knew I had to make a change. It wasn’t until I really made myself look into the ingredients and materials used in scented candles that I finally saw what I was exposing myself and my family to toxin-wise. I think that’s often the first step -- forcing yourself to read and research a product that you really love but haven’t come to terms with yet. I hadn’t researched before because I didn’t WANT to read the bad stuff on scented candles. I wanted to live in my ignorant bliss and keep those candles burning.
And the reason I didn’t want to know what was in candles is because ultimately I was scared of the change I would feel I had to make. Change is often hard, and we like our routines and life just as is.
Once I realized that I could still freshen my home with a safe product and I didn’t have to ditch scented candles completely, I knew it was time to move forward. Knowing my options and finding organic candles that I loved was key in making a positive change for our house.

What do you think about beef tallow candles homemade?
Wow you must be a Amazing mother 💪
I loved your video it was so informative as a mother of 5 would you say the essential oil is safer than the fragrance oils?
YES! Essential Oils are a much better option than anything labeled as "fragrance". I like to find organic essential oils (Plant Therapy is who I used) to ensure no pesticides have been used.
I noticed that NaturalSloth uses what looks like a wooden wick. Are these just as good as cotton?
Thank you so much. I have little info bout candles and this was very informative 🧡 what do you think about coconut wax?
You're so welcome!! Yes! Coconut wax is a great alternative. Just make sure it doesn't contain any synthetic fragrance and you're good to go. 👍
@@Healthyhouseontheblock thanks !
What about coconut wax?
Thank you so much for all those wonderful tips. I have 1 question for you: how about coconut wax, that is what i use in my candles and i made a lot of research and it a good altern ative to the expensive beeswax?
I would think that would be an excellent alternative!
Have you heard that diffusers and essential oil vapours are not healthy to breathe in? Got rid of my diffuser after I looked into it. We are not meant to be breathing in essential oil vapours! Would love your opinion on this. Thanks. :)
You are right!
Essential oils are hormone disrupters as well as central nervous system damage. You should not use them!
You are missing information is not noted as mention where to buy the candles.

Remember that beeswax does exist because of the honeybee industrie, Yes unfortunate it is an industrie were bees do not have a say in how the are kept anf treated with chemicals for varoa mites . I can tell you it is not pretty ....Many people are unaware of this.
Thank you so much for sharing this insight.
Thank you so much for your insight on this.
@@Healthyhouseontheblock you are welcome :)
As a vegan, beeswax is not something I will buy. Bees make it for themselves. It is time for us to look after bees and this means not taking what they produce away from them. I will look into coconut wax.
