Let's settle the "toxic" candle issue. Candles are NOT dangerous or harmful for your health if you're using them responsibly. If you have a respiratory condition, you may be more sensitive to candle emmissions and need to take more precautions.
If you want to learn more, I have written a blog post with peer-reviewed studies and other scientific sources on my website: (https://www.ritualcandlecompanytx.com/blog/the-truth-about-toxic-candles)
To use candles responsibly:
- Always burn candles in a well-ventilated area
- Keep the wick trimmed according to manufacturer's instructions
- Burn candles up to a maximum of 4 hours
- If you notice a large flame, excessive smoke, or wick debris, stop burning the candle and consider a different one
