Why Choosing Non-Toxic Candles Matters: Protecting Your Health and Home

Written By Stephanie M

Candles are more than just decor - They set the mood, calm the mind, and make a house feel like a home. But not all candles are created with your well-being in mind. Many mass-produced candles contain hidden toxins that can negatively affect your health and indoor air quality. At Stevi Ann Designs, our mission is to provide a luxurious, eco-friendly candle experience that enhances your space without compromising your health.

The Problem with Conventional Candles

Many traditional candles and home fragrance products (like sprays, plug-ins, and wax melts) contain ingredients that have been linked to health concerns:

Phthalates - Often used to make scents last longer, phthalates are endocrine disruptors — meaning they can interfere with hormone balance. Long-term exposure has been linked to fertility issues, obesity, poor lung function, and developmental issues.

Parabens - Commonly found in personal care and home fragrance products, parabens are preservatives linked to hormone disruption (may affect fertility), and skin irritation.

Carcinogens, Mutagens, & Prop 65 Substances - Some artificial dyes, wax blends, and fragrance chemicals may include these harmful additives that are flagged in California’s Proposition 65 list, and have been linked to cancer and DNA changes.

While these candles may look and smell appealing, the hidden cost can be poor air quality and long-term health risks.

The Stevi Ann Designs Difference

We believe luxury should never come at the expense of health. That’s why every Stevi Ann Designs candle is crafted with intention and care:

  • 100% free from carcinogens, phthalates, parabens, and mutagens

  • No California Prop 65 ingredients

  • Clean-burning wax + eco-friendly wicks

  • Ingredients that are safe for your home, your family, and our environment

You can feel confident that each candle not only smells incredible but also aligns with your wellness values.

Why It Matters

Choosing non-toxic candles means:

  • Decrease in the amount of harmful chemicals brought into your home

  • Cleaner indoor air

  • Peace of mind while you enjoy your daily rituals

Because wellness begins at home - and your candlelight should only add warmth, not worry.
