Ingredients We Avoid and Why
The ingredients we choose matter. At 9906 Candle Co., we intentionally avoid harmful ingredients. Lets explore some of these substances, why we steer clear of them, and how these choices benefit our customers and the environment.
Ingredients We Avoid and Why
Toxins
Toxins are harmful substances that can negatively impact your health if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. Many massed produced candles and home fragrances may contain such toxins, often found in products made with synthetic or low-quality ingredients, as well as in cleaning and personal care items.
Health Risks: Toxins can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, nerve disorders, and immune system damage. Prolonged exposure may lead to chronic conditions like asthma, cancer, or hormonal imbalances.
At 9906 Candle Co., we ensure our products are free from toxins, creating a safer environment for you and your family.
Parabens
Parabens are synthetic chemicals used to preserve products by preventing bacterial and mold growth. They are common in beauty products like lotions, shampoos, and deodorants.
Health Risks: Parabens can mimic estrogen, potentially increasing breast cancer risk and causing hormonal disruptions. They may also lead to skin irritation or allergic reactions.
We avoid parabens in our candles and fragrances to ensure safety for all skin types.
Phthalates
Phthalates are chemicals used to enhance the flexibility and longevity of fragrances. They are often found in scented products, air fresheners, and some plastics.
Health Risks: Exposure to phthalates can cause reproductive and developmental issues, disrupt endocrine function, and potentially lead to certain cancers.
By excluding phthalates, our products offer a safer alternative for those concerned about these hazards.
Carcinogens
Carcinogens are substances that can cause or increase cancer risk. They are found in many products using synthetic chemicals and low-quality ingredients.
Health Risks: Carcinogens can lead to various cancers by causing cellular damage and uncontrolled cell growth.
We ensure we source ingredients free from known carcinogens, using safe and natural ingredients.
Mutagens
Mutagens cause changes in DNA, leading to serious health conditions and developmental issues. They can be found in certain synthetic additives.
Health Risks: Mutagens can cause genetic mutations, increasing the risk of cancer, birth defects, and other health problems.
Our products are free from mutagens, ensuring safety from potential genetic risks.
