The choice of candles today is extremely wide, they can be purchased when shopping in an ordinary supermarket, in interior stores, and pick them from an endless selection of domestic or foreign online stores alike. Still, one should consider paying attention to some aspects before purchasing such an everyday product.
If you recall the time 10-20 years ago, the range of goods was incomparably smaller, and not much more than ordinary paraffin wax candles could be bought in the local stores. So, even today we tend to make a habitual choice, but before buying a candle made of paraffin wax, affordable for everyone and available everywhere, one should know about their harmful effects.

Thus, when burning a candle, paraffin wax releases various chemicals with toxic effects, such as benzene and formaldehyde, as well as many candles contain volatile synthetic fragrances into the air during combustion. Paraffin candle is certainly not environmentally friendly either, as, in short, paraffin is one of the by-products of petroleum, and petroleum is known to be a non-renewable natural resource. We cannot neglect the fact that paraffin candles emit soot during combustion, which, when burning a larger number of candles, can stain the surrounding surfaces.
Of course, the occasional use of paraffin candles does not incur major adverse consequences, but we can certainly argue that there are much more environmentally friendly alternatives available today, and one of them is TheCandledust powder candles, which have been created by us with conservation and recovery issues in mind.
