At Shivora Candles, we believe every candle you light should be more than just a scent—it should be a safe, intentional experience. Whether you’re a casual candle lover or a devoted collector, what goes into your candles matters just as much as how they smell.
Fragrance may be the first thing that draws you in—but behind some beautiful scents lie harmful ingredients like phthalates and parabens. That’s why we proudly craft our candles with clean, non-toxic fragrance oils, free from both.
What Are Phthalates and Parabens—and Why Should You Care?
Many mass-produced fragrance oils use phthalates and parabens as shortcuts to enhance scent and shelf life. But the risks simply aren’t worth it.
🧪
Phthalates
Often used to increase the strength and longevity of fragrance, phthalates—especially diethyl phthalate (DEP)—are linked to hormonal imbalances, reproductive issues, and respiratory concerns. They’re known endocrine disruptors that still appear in many commercial candles.
🧪
Parabens
Used to preserve fragrance blends, parabens can mimic estrogen in the body and may contribute to hormone-related disruptions. Though banned in certain personal care products in many countries, they still sneak into some candle formulas.
At Shivora Candles, we say no to “industry standard” and yes to health-conscious, eco-luxury alternatives.
The Benefits of Phthalate-Free & Paraben-Free Candles
Every candle you burn becomes part of your air. That’s why we believe in clean-burning ingredients that support your well-being without compromising performance.
🌿 Why Clean Fragrance Oils Make a Difference:
- ✅ Safer air quality for your home, children, and pets
- ✅ Reduced risk of allergic or hormonal reactions
- ✅ Confidence and trust for mindful shoppers
- ✅ Eco-conscious production and sustainable sourcing
- ✅ Stronger brand identity for those who sell or gift their candles
Whether you’re using candles for self-care, ambiance, or décor, using safe ingredients elevates the experience—and helps you breathe easier.
Why It’s Not Just “Removing the Bad Stuff”
Reformulating fragrance oils without phthalates and parabens takes skill, time, and care. DEP (a common phthalate) is cheap and effective—which is exactly why it’s still used.
But at Shivora Candles, we’ve invested in premium alternatives that provide:
- A strong hot and cold throw
- Even, clean burns
- Long-lasting, mood-enhancing aroma
No compromises. Just safe, luxurious scents made for conscious living.
