Why Clean-Burning Candles Matter for Your Indoor Safety

With consistent haze, humidity and sometimes wildfires, it seems that bad air quality is always in the news.  Health officials urge caution about what we breathe indoors, and many may be wondering: Can I still enjoy my favorite candles?

At Gilchrist + Stone, the answer is a resounding yes, you can still enjoy your favorite candles and be comfortable that your indoor air is safe.

🕯️ Clean Burning, by Design

We believe luxury should never compromise your well-being. Other candles use cheaper materials that can be hazardous to your indoor health.  We have that in mind when making all our candles.  Every Gilchrist + Stone candle is meticulously crafted using:

·       Non-toxic, clean-burning wax blends

·       Phthalate-free, skin-safe fragrance oils

·       Formulations tested for respiratory sensitivity

These aren’t just marketing claims—they're standards we uphold through thoroughly researched ingredient sourcing and lab-level safety checks.

🌬️ Safe to Light, Even When the Air Isn’t

While outdoor air may be filled with toxic particles, your indoor space can remain a safe sanctuary. Our candles are specifically chosen for their low soot emission and purity of ingredients, making them a safe choice even when windows stay closed and air purifiers are running.

🧘‍♀️ A Moment of Calm Amid the Chaos

Whether you’re craving a moment of calm or a subtle backdrop of scent to ease the tension of the season, a Gilchrist + Stone candle offers more than just aroma—it offers peace of mind.

So go ahead.
Light that candle.
Breathe deeply.
You’re in safe hands.
