    I'm a new subscriber and as a candle maker it makes me so cross when people slam paraffin wax (not that i use it) but the wax is not toxic which has been proven by a peer reviewed study which proved the wax burns exactly the same as all other waxes tested including soy. The soot on the vessel is generally down to poor wax trimming or even a breeze near the candle makimg the flame to flicker to the glass

  • @havealot2say

    please note that improper trimming of the wick or poorly wicked candles will cause sooting this is not exclusive to paraffin. All soy used in candles is made from GMO soy beans and also they use very harsh chemicals to extract the soy bean oil. Bees wax is good but you have to consider the damage done to the hives to collect the wax and find out if the bees wax is ethically sourced. Palm wax is great but unless responsibly sourced you are paying to fund deforestation. Also remember natural does not always mean better. Crude oil is a natural material and yet were are watching a video warning us it the potential dangers of paraffin. I also encourage people to look up food grade paraffin because that is what high grade paraffin is. It is processed to remove toxins and impurities. Much like raw soy beans are poisonous until cooked but nobody is saying don't soy eat meat instead. Personally I don't use paraffin wax in my candles and I don't aroma materials known to be hazardous. That being said people please do your research the soy industry has done epic job of marketing and the "all natural" movement has done a great job of selling the idea that essentials oils are better. Again please do your research

    I love this! I’m launching Evergreen Lane, a coconut, hemp seed oil, and local beeswax blended candle brand (I’m soy-sensitive so I don’t use soy). And I love that you’re teaching others about this. Another factor is fragrance oil. Sooooo many fragrance oils use are cancer causing and it’s widely known! Candle makers are privy to this information prior to pucharsing fragrance oils for our candles. So even if someone is using a beautiful natural oil and labeling it as made with natural wax, they could still be using a toxic fragrance. I scour every safety data sheet and I hope other candle makers will do the same as time goes on. Blessings!

    Burning anything in your house comes with respiratory risks. The cleanest way to throw scents inside is wax melt, or a scent diffuser.
    Any kind of wax if it doesnt burn fully will throw soot and unburned wax around your house. This is no different from smoking if you breathe it in.

    Hello,
    Both paraffin and most of the essences used in candles are made from petroleum derivatives and all these products emit toxic products when burned as highly toxic formic aldehyde, only pure beeswax is less toxic than all other products.
    Any organic product when burning emits toxic substances, nothing is exempt from that.

    Black soot exists doesn't matter what type of candle wax you use, the wick trimming will help eliminate this. I will take a properly trimmed wick paraffin any days over soy wax with improper trim wick that causing soot.
    Soy wax will produce less harmful toxin, true, but the farming of soybean has been question ethically lately.

I will not take that chance of burning anything that could cause any amount of health issues down the line, but again, that is my opinion. farming of soy has been in question ethically, but you have to understand, it is not ALL brands that are causing harm with soy farming. to avoid all of these issues or concerns i much prefer vegan wax over anything else.

    Your videos are very well done. You should really research soy it is made from GMO soy beans- which uses chemicals to extract it - the reason candle makers use paraffin is it is extremely difficult to get a saleable throw from soy alone - coconut wax can be good but the supply of it is very difficult to count on Essential oils are nearly impossible to use as they ignite and immediately burn off unlike fragrance oil . I think candle labels can get away with a bit because they can use a blend without saying of what - or contains 100% soy doesnt mean it is all soy. Paraffin wax is more widely used than you might think again because of throw

    Hi, just to be clear with waxes because a lot of people are misinformed aboit it. Paraffin isn't toxic if its fully refined. Every wax (mineral/vegetal/...) are hydrocarbons that emits formaldehyde when they combust, the "carcinogenic" molecule. If the candle is perfectly wicked and made they must emit less this molecule. Trudon used to have beewax into their blends but now to make it "vegan suitable" they change it for paraffin (dyptique uses paraffin too like most of luxury brands because technically a 100% vegetable wax desont burn properly). Every candle maker does have to make several lab candle testing before selling their candles on the market, that's one of the reasons why your candle is expensive but most of the price goes into marketing. The maintoxic issue in a candle is the fragrance, which are often full of allergens. Avoid those who have the red diamond warning logo on the label they are the most unsafe to use. Moreover, a candle is toxic when you don't use it properly and do not trim the wick. Clean the residues before burning, do not burn more than 4h in a row, don't blow the wick and the most important, open your windows right after.

    As a candle maker I have studied every wax out there and though I dont use paraffin or soy wax, I think paraffin gets a bad rap that just isn't justified and soy wax dont get the beat down that it deserves. People praise soy like its a miricle drug but no one ever mentions the fact that in order to produce that successful crop you have to spray it with millions of gallons of deadly pesticide, and as for paraffin wax well all that shiny fruit you see in the grocery store, it didn't come from the fields looking that shiny so they spray it with paraffin wax and they also use paraffin wax in the canning process. It's all over our food so if it was harmful we should all be dead by now. Yankee candles are 100% paraffin and I never knew of anyone passing out or killing over from burning a Yankee candle. Also I have tested a lot of high end candles only to realize it's a 5 dollar candle with a big name and big price. Its like Ralph Lauren going to the dollar store and buying all their shirts then sewing his logo on them to resale for $100... its still a DG $2 shirt on the back of a fool who thinks that little horse made it better. And I guarantee you all those Big famous names on those candle labels not one has ever spent 10 minutes making the first candle themself and they probably have no clue what's even in it. That's my take, if it smells good light it up, we all gonna die someday.🕯🕯🕯

    All candle waxes are mixed with something so that the candle has a nice smooth top and a stronger scent. It doesn't have to be paraffin but it's mixed with a chemical or other substance. But 100% soy is just not true. Don't let the brands fool you.
