5 Non-Toxic Scented Candles That Are Good For You

Feel the burn... the clean burn, that is, from these toxin-free candles brought to you by brands who believe in creating beautiful products that not only spare your health but that of the earth too. The majority of candles on the market are made from paraffin wax, which releases harmful carcinogens comparable to diesel fuel fumes. But through the use of natural essential oils, beeswax or soy wax and cotton wick, these non-toxic candles work to create a safe and wonderfully scented environment:

Hand-poured in Hong Kong by Doris Ngie, a studying Doctor of Natural Medicine specialising in aromatherapy, MYBU Candles are the first 100% natural and plant-based candles on the market. “Candles are inhaled into the body, it should matter what ingredients are being used to make them,” says Doris.

MYBU Candles are made from a unique soy and vegan wax blend, which works to bring out the best of their plant-based essential oils derived directly from flowers, fruits and herbs. With scents to die for and sleek contemporary packaging that’s biodegradable and reusable, there’s no question that MYBU is changing the game.

Essencial Candles has partnered with a local bee farm in Hong Kong, where they source beeswax in its most organic and natural form to make their candles. Fun fact: beeswax is known to produce negative ions, which helps to reduce dust particles and toxins in the air. So not only do these candles burn toxin-free, they’re actually helping you get rid of any lurking nasties in your home or workplace.

You’ll also find no synthetic fragrances in any of Essencial’s products, just 100% pure essential oils.
