Illuminating The Truth: Why Candles Are Safe To Use

Candles have been casting a warm and flickering glow for centuries, creating an ambiance that soothes the soul, forges an inviting atmosphere, and has become a staple in a variety of traditions.

 However, concerns about candles’ impact on indoor air quality continues to pepper the media. 

Let’s delve into the facts and dispel myths surrounding candles, highlighting why they are safe to use.  

Indoor air quality is not affected by candles.  

Candles are a beloved part of home décor and create a cozy atmosphere, so it’s important to understand why they don’t affect your air quality. 

Candles are non-toxic and noncarcinogenic. Scented or unscented, there is no evidence that daily exposure will affect a person negatively. 

According to the independent peer-reviewed study, Human health risk evaluation of selected VOC, SVOC and particulate emissions from scented candles, “candle emission testing was undertaken in environmentally controlled small and large emission chambers… conclud[ing] that under normal conditions of use, scented candles do not pose known health risks to the consumer.”   

Likewise, this same study also noted that indoor air quality changes can arise from a variety of sources including cooking, smoking inside, and even household plants.

 If you still have concerns, move your candle to a well-ventilated (but not drafty) area of your home and make sure keep the wick of each candle trimmed to ¼ inch.

History of candles

The history of candles dates back to 3000 BC in Egypt, when the Egyptians made torches from reeds dipped in animal fat to make the torches burn longer, and the torches did not have a wick like a real candle. Around 500 BC, the Romans began making true dipping candles from tallow, made by wrapping the stem of a papyrus plant around a long string and repeatedly soaking it in melted animal fat. 1


In China, candles appeared in the Han Dynasty, and the emperor often received candles as gifts, which can be seen that they are very precious. Early candles were moulded in paper tubes with wicks made from rolled rice paper and wax from whale fat or beeswax. Other ancient civilizations used locally available plant, insect, and animal fats to make their own candles.


In the Middle Ages, due to the disruption of trade after the fall of the Roman Empire, olive oil became a scarce commodity throughout Europe, and candles were widely produced and used. Early medieval European candles were mainly made from tallow or animal fat, but these candles gave off an unpleasant smell and smoked when burned. Unlike animal fat, beeswax burns more pure and does not produce smoke, and it also gives off a pleasant smell rather than the pungent smell of butter. So beeswax candles are much better than tallow candles, but they are very expensive, and few people except the rich can afford to burn them in their homes.


By the Tang Dynasty, the use of candles was relatively popular, the rich gentry often used candles for lighting, while the small families rarely used candles for lighting, they only spent money on the Lantern Festival or happy days.

Advancements for LED candles

People have traditionally used wax candles for centuries, which are used for both practical and aesthetic purposes. However, with the development of technology, LED candles have become the first choice whether for home decorating or other uses. 
Here are some reasons to choose LED candles.Firstly, LED candles are made of the same wax as flamed candles. They are just as beautiful and come in a wide variety of shapes, styles, colors, patterns, and textures. And LED candles can be scented and unscented. What's more, compared to traditional candles, LED candles are flameless and use a battery. They are no fire risk and are safe for children, pets, and anything fabric or flammable.
LED candles have a switch, which is easy to turn on or turn off. Some candles also can carry timers so you can set when you want your candles to turn on and off automatically. Or you can choose a remote-ready candle so that you can use a remote control to turn it on or off with one touch.Besides, the flicker rate of a flameless candle can be increased or decreased, and the light intensity also can be adjusted according to your mood and occasion. This is an advancement that traditional candles cannot achieve.
In addition, the LED in the flameless candles can last 100,000 hours.  If you use your LED candles from 7 pm to 11 pm each night, the LED will last for 25,000 days or 68 years! Meanwhile, there is no need to use LED candles to melt or clean up the mess afterward. They are more friendly to the environment without releasing smoke or being thrown away.
