The Truth About Candle Waxes

🌿 Why Candle Wax Matters

Luxury candles are designed to do more than smell good—they create an experience that stirs emotion and aspiration. But mass-market candles often cut corners, using low-cost ingredients like paraffin wax to maximize profit.

​

🔬 Health Alert: Paraffin is a petroleum byproduct. Studies have linked it to serious health risks including cancer, birth defects, nausea, and headaches. That’s why Eden uses only paraffin-free waxes—such as soy, coconut, and palm—for a cleaner, safer burn.

🕯️ What’s Really in Your Candle?

Although manufacturers are legally required to list ingredients, many mass-produced candles are labeled simply as “scented” or “perfume candle”—with no mention of paraffin.

​

💡 Quick Tip: If the candle is inexpensive and mass-produced, it’s probably made with paraffin.

​

Even labels that say “soy blend” or “paraffin-soy blend” rarely disclose the actual percentages. More often than not, these blends are mostly paraffin.

🫁 How Candles Affect Your Body

When a paraffin candle burns, it releases carcinogenic toxins into the air. These are inhaled and absorbed into your bloodstream almost instantly—much faster than ingredients taken orally.

​

🧴 This is also true for products applied to the skin or inhaled, like lotions, deodorants, hair color, and fragrances. Whether beneficial or harmful, ingredients enter your body quickly through your lungs and skin.
