What Are Phthalates and Why Should You Care?

Have you ever noticed the word "phthalates" on the label of a candle? It's a group of chemicals commonly used as a plasticizer in a variety of products, including candles. Phthalates help to make the wax more flexible and enhance the fragrance of the candle. However, some studies have linked phthalates to negative health effects, such as hormonal disruptions and reproductive issues.

The concern about phthalates in candles is that when the candle is burned, these chemicals can be released into the air and potentially inhaled. This can be especially concerning for those with respiratory issues or allergies.

At our candle company, we prioritize the safety of our customers. That's why we choose to use only phthalate-free fragrances in all of our candles. We want you to enjoy the beautiful scents of our candles without worrying about any potential health risks.

Not all candle companies take this approach, however. It's important to do your research and choose candles from companies that prioritize safety and transparency. Look for candles that are labeled as "phthalate-free" or that use natural fragrances instead.In conclusion, while phthalates may enhance the fragrance of candles, they can also pose potential health risks. At Twenty two and moon, we choose to prioritize safety and use only phthalate-free fragrances in our products. We encourage you to do your research and make informed choices when it comes to the candles you bring into your home.
