Are scented candles harmful to the human body?

Scented candles are loved by more and more people, so I believe everyone must have a question, whether it is harmful to the human body.

Generally speaking, scented candles made of liquid paraffin and soybean wax will not cause harm to the human body. Scented candles made of solid paraffin wax will release potentially harmful organic chemicals, such as xylene and benzene, which can be harmful to the body when lit. When choosing candles, you must be optimistic about the raw materials and choose products with harmless raw materials.

Although most scented candles are harmless to people, try to avoid using them in unventilated spaces. If you can't avoid it, try to extinguish the candle after every 2-3 hours of burning to let the indoor air circulate.

And everyone must remember that after using scented candles, be sure to blow out the open flame! When people are not indoors or sleeping indoors, never leave open flames.

If you want to buy scented candles, these types of people are not suitable for placing orders!
