Why Nontoxic Candles Matter #2

Why Nontoxic Candles Matter: Protect Your Energy, Health & Home

Let’s be honest—we all love the feeling of lighting a candle after a long day. But did you know that not all candles are created with your well-being in mind? Many popular store-bought candles are made with toxic ingredients that can harm your body and your space. At Good Intentions, we make candles that smell amazing without compromising your health.

Here’s why going nontoxic with your candles matters more than ever:

1. Paraffin Wax = Petroleum Byproduct

Paraffin wax (used in many mainstream candles) is derived from petroleum. When burned, it can release harmful chemicals like toluene and benzene—linked to asthma, headaches, and even hormone disruption.

💡 What we use instead:
We craft our candles with coconut soy wax, a cleaner-burning, renewable alternative that’s gentle on your lungs and better for the environment.

2. Fragrance Oils Can Be Sneaky

Some fragrances are filled with phthalates, synthetic dyes, and mystery ingredients that can trigger allergies, migraines, and skin irritation.

🌸 What we do differently:
We only use phthalate-free fragrance oils with high flashpoints to ensure both safety and scent throw. Our essential oil blends are curated for a purpose—whether it's to calm, uplift, or energize.

3. Wick Quality Affects Air Quality

Lead-core wicks were banned, but many candles still contain metal-infused or poorly made wicks that emit soot.

🔥 Our promise:
We use cotton or wood wicks—clean burning, low soot, and safe for your space.

4. It’s Safer for Pets & Kids Too

If you have a furry friend or little ones running around, burning clean candles is especially important. Toxins in candles can irritate pets’ lungs and affect indoor air quality.

🐾 Peace of mind: All our candles are handmade with your whole household in mind.

🌿 Final Thought

You deserve products that nourish your home and your energy. That’s why every Good Intentions candle is crafted with care, clarity, and consciousness. When you burn one of our candles, you’re not just lighting a scent—you’re setting an intention and protecting your peace.
