When it comes to burning candles, the warm glow and lovely scent can transport us to a different place and time, creating a relaxing ambiance in our homes. However, did you know that some candles can contain harmful chemicals known as phthalates? And if you're not careful, you could be unknowingly exposing yourself and your loved ones to these potentially dangerous chemicals.
But don't worry, at SD Candle, we care about the ingredients we use in our candles and make sure to choose fragrance selections that are free from phthalates, parabens, and nitro musks, so you can enjoy the soothing ambiance of a candle without any worries.
First, let's talk about what phthalates are. Phthalates (pronounced "thal-ates") are a group of chemicals that are often added to plastics and other materials to make them more flexible and durable. They are also used as solvents and as a component in many fragrances and personal care products. They are known as "plasticizers" because they are added to plastics to make them more flexible and durable. They can be found in many everyday products, such as food packaging, cleaning supplies, personal care products, and toys.
But here's the thing, phthalates are known to be endocrine disruptors, which means they can interfere with the normal functioning of the endocrine system. This can lead to a variety of health problems, including reproductive and developmental problems, and cancer. Studies have also linked phthalates to respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma.
Now, you might be wondering how these dangerous chemicals could end up in your candles. Many fragrances used in candles contain phthalates, which is why some candles can release these chemicals into the air when they are burned.
That's why, at SD Candle, we take the safety and well-being of our customers very seriously. We understand that burning candles is a daily ritual for many of us, and we want to ensure that our candles are not only beautiful and fragrant, but also safe to use.
That's why we choose fragrance selections that are free from phthalates, parabens, and nitro musks. We believe that you should be able to enjoy the soothing ambiance of a candle without any worries about the ingredients that are used to create it.
We also believe in transparency, which is why we list all the ingredients used in our candles on our website and on the product packaging. We want our customers to know exactly what they are buying and to feel confident in their purchase.
In addition to phthalates, we also avoid using parabens and nitro musks in our candles. Parabens are a type of preservative that can be found in many personal care products and have been linked to a variety of health problems. Nitro musks are synthetic compounds that are often used in fragrances and have been shown to have negative effects on the environment.
By choosing fragrance selections that are free from phthalates, parabens, and nitro musks, we are able to provide our customers with candles that are not only beautiful and fragrant, but also safe for use in their homes. So, you can light your SD Candle with peace of mind knowing that you are not exposing yourself and your loved ones to any harmful chemicals.
We also take pride in using natural, eco-friendly ingredients in our candles. Our soy wax is not only a renewable resource but also biodegradable and burns cleanly, producing less soot than traditional paraffin candles.
We understand that choosing a candle can be overwhelming, with so many options available on the market. But we want to make it easy for you to make an informed decision when it comes to buying candles. With SD Candle, you can be sure that you are getting a high-quality, safe, and eco-friendly product that you can enjoy without any worries.
In conclusion, phthalates are a group of chemicals that are often added to plastics and other materials to make them more flexible and durable. They are also used as solvents and as a component in many fragrances and personal care products. At SD Candle, we understand that these chemicals can be harmful to your health and the environment, which is why we choose fragrance selections that are free from phthalates, parabens and nitro musks, so that you can enjoy the soothing ambiance of a candle without any worries.
