Frequently Asked Questions

Dharma & Dinny candles and wax melts are infused with CandleScience Clean Scents™ (website: candlescience.com) fragrance oils. These oils are formulated without phthalates or any of the 5 main hazard groups:

Carcinogens: These are materials known or thought to cause cancer. 

Mutagens: Materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell and causing diseases like cancer. 

Reproductive toxins: Toxins that adversely affect reproductive organs and increase the risk of birth defects. 

Organ toxins: These are toxins that can cause adverse effects or disease within specific bodily organs. 

Acute toxins: Toxins that can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion. 

 Soy wax candles offer several health benefits compared to paraffin wax candles:

Cleaner Burning: Soy wax is a natural product, burning cleaner and producing less soot than paraffin, which is petroleum-based and can release harmful chemicals into the air.

Fewer Allergens: Soy wax is generally hypoallergenic, making it a better option for people with sensitivities or allergies to synthetic fragrances or chemicals found in paraffin candles.

Non-Toxic: Soy wax does not emit toxins or carcinogens when burned, unlike paraffin, which can release potentially harmful substances like benzene and toluene.

An 8 oz. soy candle typically burns for 50 hrs. or more, while a 6 oz. soy candle should burn for at least 40 hrs.
