In a world where delightful scents and mood-boosting aromas often come at a cost, it’s easy to overlook the hidden dangers lurking in the fragrance industry. Too frequently, consumers find themselves misled by glamorous marketing that glosses over the use of toxic ingredients. Phthalates, parabens, and carcinogens are just a few of the chemicals that can be found in many popular candles and personal care products, posing serious health risks to you, your loved ones, and even your furry friends. At Cam Candles, we believe in a different approach—one that prioritizes transparency and safety in every product we craft. Our commitment to being truly non-toxic means adhering to strict standards and using only the best ingredients, so you can indulge in your favorite scents without the worry of what they might be doing to your well-being. Let’s dive into what makes our products safe and why it matters for your home and health.
-Phthalate-Free
Phthalates are chemicals used in fragrances to stabilize and dissolve other ingredients, which helps the scent last longer. Commonly found in candles, cosmetics, perfume, household products. (These are most commonly found in big box store candles!)
To avoid phthalates, you can choose phthalate-free products. You can identify phthalates in products by looking for three or four-word acronyms that refer to their chemical structure, such as DEP, DMP, DBP, DINP, DNOP, and BBP.Health Concerns: Phthalates are endocrine disruptors, which means they can interfere with the body's hormone systems. This can potentially lead to developmental problems and reproductive issues.

Common Names: Methyl paraben, propyl paraben, butyl paraben, Ethyl paraben.Health Concerns: Parabens can mimic estrogen in the body and disrupt the hormone system, which can lead to serious health issues.
