@purascans: Scanned with the Pura App That cozy candle might be the dirtiest air in your house. Independent testing found that burning a single scented candle can flood a room with over a million ultrafine pollution particles — on par with a running diesel engine. And it comes down to what the candle actually is. Paraffin — the wax in most scented candles — isn't really "wax" at all. It's the sludge left behind after crude oil is refined into gasoline, then bleached and perfumed until it looks clean. So every time you light one, you're slowly melting petroleum and breathing the greasy black carbon it gives off. Then there's the scent. "Fragrance" is one word that can legally hide dozens of undisclosed chemicals — many of them phthalates, plasticizers linked to hormone disruption — that lift into the air the moment the wax warms. The swap is simple: a 100% beeswax candle burns clean, with no petroleum and no hidden fragrance load. Check Pura to see what's really in the products you bring into your home — and which brands come back clean. Scanned with the Pura App
