The Danger Of Paraffin Candles

For many of us, candles are an important part of our daily lives. The aromatherapy is wonderful for relaxation, and the warmth and light render ambiance to any room.

But what candle you choose, however, could affect your health. Candles made from paraffin wax have long been suspect as carcinogens if burned consistently. Now, the American Chemical Society has proof.

At their annual meeting in Washington D.C. last week, scientists from the ACS announced that research done on paraffin candles showed that when burned they released toxic chemicals into the air. Poisonous enough to cause cancer, they said.

The main source is petroleum, which paraffin candles are largely comprised of. Lighted frequently, especially in unventilated rooms like the bathroom, pose a health risk, researchers said. It’s been an unrecognized source of indoor air pollution, and may also be the culprit behind those suffering from allergies.

The solution? Candles made from beeswax or soy do not contain toxic pollutants, and are much healthier for you.

Sacred Glo has long known the benefits of using all natural candles. That’s why their handmade, artisan lotion candles are so popular. Made from the finest, most luxurious ingredients like soy, Shea butter and essential oils, Sacred Glo’s candles even have an all-cotton, clean burning wick.

That’s why the massage lotion and warm body butter created by burning Sacred Glo candles are so good for your skin.

And while the very occasional paraffin candle may not harm you, why take any chance at all, especially when we’re talking about cancer?

So enjoy all the ambience, warm light and relaxing scent of candles without risking your health. Sacred Glo has a fragrance for every occasion, no matter what mood you’re trying to create.
