There's nothing like lighting a candle and cozying up while letting your favorite scents fill the room, but there can be a downside to certain home fragrances. Some candles are made with materials that might be harmful to you and the environment, including paraffin wax and cheap, synthetic fragrances. Thankfully, there is no shortage of candle options made with plant-based wax, premium scents, and wicks made with natural cotton or wood. For a clean burn and healthier home, check out 10 of our favorite nontoxic candles, below.
