If you light paraffin candles at home for a long time, you will inhale more dangerous pollutants floating indoors and increase the risk of respiratory diseases such as cancer and asthma. Aromatherapy candles also contain acetone, phenol, toluene, benzyl acetate, limonene and other harmful substances, which will interfere with the hormone balance in the body and increase the risk of asthma, chronic lung disease, allergic reaction and other diseases.

Precautions for scented candles:
Don't let it produce black smoke,
There are not many reasons why incense sticks produce black smoke, usually because of incomplete combustion or impure paraffin. Incomplete burning black smoke with particles will do harm to human body, and black smoke will blacken white walls and ceilings. Pay attention to trim the wick to about 6-8mm with scissors before lighting the aromatherapy candle every time.
Avoid direct sunlight.
When storing and using scented candles, direct sunlight should be avoided. If the incense sticks are exposed to the sun for a long time, they will fade and run away, which is not worth the candle.
Finish the calculation in half a year
When you use your aromatherapy candle, it is best to light it one after another within six months after opening it, so as to avoid the essential oil contained in it from volatilizing and the aromatherapy is no longer fragrant.
