🕯️ Why You Should Avoid Paraffin Candles — And Choose a Safer Alternative with Imperial Ancient Candles
Candles have long been a symbol of peace, comfort, and luxury. But not all candles are created equal. While many people enjoy the soft glow and scent of store-bought candles, they may not realize that some candles are doing more harm than good—especially those made with paraffin wax.
Let’s dive into why paraffin candles can be dangerous, and why Imperial Ancient’s coconut-soy wax candles are the cleaner, safer, and more luxurious alternative.
⚠️ What Is Paraffin Wax—and Why Is It Harmful?
Paraffin wax is a byproduct of petroleum, a residue left behind during the refinement of crude oil. While it’s cheap and easy to work with, the health and environmental costs of paraffin wax are often hidden from the label.
When burned, paraffin candles:
- Release toxic chemicals like benzene and toluene (known carcinogens)
- Contribute to indoor air pollution, which can trigger asthma, allergies, or headaches
- Often contain synthetic dyes and chemical-based fragrances that worsen indoor air quality
The black soot you sometimes see? That’s not just smoke—it’s a sign of toxins being released into your breathing space.
