The Best Non-Toxic Handmade Candles

The Best Non-Toxic Handmade Candles 

One of the best and best ways to unwind at the end of a long hard day at work or when you just need some R and R is to light a scented candle and drift off to a relaxing wonderland. As good as that sounds, if you are not too careful, even the best smelling candle could be bad for your health. Why? The majority of fragranced candles contain toxic ingredients


That does not mean, however, that you can’t enjoy a scented candle ever again. Rather you need to make wiser decisions about which candles you use. It means looking for all-natural soy wax candles with all-natural fragrance oils. To give you a helpful nudge in the right direction, we have highlighted three of our current favorite non-toxic handmade candles 

First, we have the delightful, grown-up, and sophisticated Lemon Delight candle from the Matt Mathews signature range. Made from 100% natural Soy wax, this is free of reproductive toxins, carcinogens, and other harsh chemicals that can cause more harm than good.  Instead what you get is a beautifully sass lemony fragrance with notes of butter, cake, vanilla, and sugar for a sublimely sweet and sexy affair. A great way to express yourself while saying goodbye to the aches, pains, stresses and anxieties of the day. 

When you’re just married, there are a lot of firsts that can feel very different and are special after tying the knot. The first dance, the first kiss during the ceremony, and that first night together as newlyweds. Another amazing all-natural soy wax candle, the Just Married single or three-wick option from Matt Mathews range is the perfect accompaniment to that first night together. With fruity and boozy notes of bourbon, apple, spice, butter, and maple this will get you in the mood without leaving you nursing a hangover the next day. 

As noted on the label “And That’s Periodt”, the last of the three all-natural soy wax candles we want to highlight, also from the Matt Mathews range is this soothingly fragrant Grapefruit and Mint number. Tangy and ripened grapefruit partner with fresh mint for a very balanced marrying of citrus essential oils and essential oils like bergamot and lavender. The differing scents never feel at war with one another, but instead, team up perfectly for a scintillating fragrance to end a hard day. 

There you have it, three of the best non-toxic candles full of fragrant goodness. All are 100% free from reproductive toxins, carcinogens, and other dangerous chemicals that are normally found in waxes and fragrances. All are made from all-natural soy wax. And perhaps most importantly, all are an excellent addition to your home. With options for 8-ounce, single wick candles, and larger 17-ounce, three-wick candles, they can continue to burn for 45 to 50 or more than 70 hours respectively.
