But most candles aren’t really ideal. Conventional candles that are made with paraffin wax is essentially a petroleum waste product that must be treated chemically and then bleached. Artificially scented candles, even when they aren’t lit, can release chemicals like formaldehyde into the air around you because of simple evaporation and what’s worse is that the scents themselves are oils petroleum-based synthetics. Further more The American Lung Association says, “refrain from burning scented or slow burning candles that have additives.”

Shop owner Kara started her company to create a safer product on the market. Creative Energy Candles are cruelty-free and vegan with a blend of soybean wax, certified organic extra virgin coconut oil and a variety of essential oil blends with organic cotton wicks. They serve a zero waste multi-purpose use both as a candle and warming lotion – as well as aromatherapy. With various sizes (I prefer the larger ones for less materials used + more product) I no longer have a need to purchase lotion that I would hardly use.
