2. Scented Candles

Although they may be given names like “summer breeze” or “strawberry shortcake”, scented candles are far from natural. In fact, most candles-even unscented ones-contain formaldehyde, an incredibly harmful chemical that emits toxic fumes when heated (2).
Formaldehyde is also known to cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and skin and well as respiratory distress, nausea and cancer (3,4,5)
Instead use all-natural beeswax candles with a cotton-wick to light up your home
