12 Coziest Non-Toxic Fall Scented Candles for Warming Up Your Space
It’s no secret that I’m a bit of a candle addict. Candles are something I use everyday to help set my mood and create my creative space.
Finding non-toxic candles that are made with sustainable materials is something I LOVE doing!
And let me tell you fall candles are the BEST! I love all the pumpkin, spices, and warm cozy scents that compliment the cool weather.
This guide features some of my favorite non-toxic fall candles from eco-friendly candle brands!
What to Look for in Non-toxic Fall Candles
Avoid candles made with paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct. IQ Air reports that to create paraffin, petroleum waste is chemically bleached, deodorized and made into wax.
When burned, paraffin wax can release toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air including acetone, benzene and toluene, which are known carcinogens.
Avoid candles with synthetic fragrances are known for having phthalates. The EWG defines phthalates as a common industrial chemical used in PVC plastics, solvents, and synthetic fragrances and reports that most recently have been linked to asthma and allergies.
For fall scents I always look for spice scent notes because I think those are great for creating a cozy space with the cool weather.
