The Importance of Paraben- and Phthalate-Free Products
When it comes to the products you use on your skin and in your home, it's important to be aware of the ingredients that are included. Some common chemicals, such as parabens and phthalates, have been linked to potential health concerns, and it's important to understand why it's important to choose products that are free from these chemicals.
Parabens are a type of preservative that are commonly used in personal care products, such as shampoos, conditioners, and body washes, to extend their shelf life. However, parabens have been shown to mimic the hormone estrogen in the body, which can disrupt the endocrine system and potentially lead to health problems.
Phthalates are another common chemical found in personal care products, as well as in plastic and vinyl products. They are used to make fragrances last longer and to make plastics more flexible. Like parabens, phthalates have been linked to hormonal disruption and have been shown to have negative effects on reproductive health.
At Ivory and Oak, we understand the importance of using products that are safe for you and the environment. That's why we make all of our products, including our candles, diffusers, and soaps, free from parabens and phthalates. We use only the highest-quality, eco-friendly ingredients to ensure that you can enjoy our products with peace of mind.
By choosing paraben- and phthalate-free products, you can help reduce your exposure to these potentially harmful chemicals and support your overall health and wellbeing. We believe in creating products that are not only beautiful and functional, but also safe for you and the planet.
The Benefits of Coco Cremé Soy Wax Candles
While popular retailers often use paraffin wax, which is a byproduct of petroleum, there are many reasons why it's best to choose candles made with alternative waxes, like Coco Cremé Soy Wax.
Coco Cremé Soy Wax is a natural, renewable resource that is made from soybeans. It's biodegradable, non-toxic, and has a much lower melting point than paraffin wax, which means that it burns at a cooler temperature and is less likely to cause a fire hazard. Additionally, soy wax is a healthier choice for indoor air quality because it doesn't release harmful chemicals or toxins when burned.
Another great benefit of using Coco Cremé Soy Wax in candles is that it is eco-friendly and sustainable. Soybeans are a renewable resource that are grown and harvested on farms, making soy wax a much more sustainable choice than paraffin wax, which is derived from a finite, non-renewable resource.
Finally, candles made with Coco Cremé Soy Wax have a longer burn time than paraffin wax candles, so you can enjoy their natural, clean-burning fragrance for longer.
By choosing candles made with Coco Cremé Soy Wax, you can help support sustainable and eco-friendly practices, and enjoy clean-burning, natural fragrance in your home.
The Benefits of Wooden Wicks Made from FSC Certified Wood
Wooden wicks have been a popular choice for candles for centuries, and it's not hard to see why. They provide a unique, warm glow that sets them apart from traditional cotton wicks, and they offer a number of benefits that make them a great choice for your home.
One of the key benefits of using wooden wicks made from FSC certified wood is that they are sustainably harvested. The wood used in these wicks is derived from sappy fruit trees, which are grown on responsibly managed forests that are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This ensures that the trees used to make the wicks are harvested in a way that is environmentally responsible and sustainable, helping to protect our forests for generations to come.
Compared to cotton wicks, which are commonly used in many popular retailers, wooden wicks offer several benefits that make them a better choice for your health and the environment. One of the biggest benefits is that wooden wicks are free from harmful chemicals. Unlike some cotton wicks, which can contain lead and zinc, wooden wicks do not release harmful chemicals into the air when burned.
In addition to their eco-friendly and sustainable qualities, wooden wicks also provide a unique, warm flame that creates a cozy atmosphere in your home. The wood in these wicks is carefully selected and crafted to ensure that they provide a stable, consistent flame, and they produce a crackling sound as they burn that adds to their unique ambiance.
So, if you're looking for a candle that is both safe and environmentally responsible, choose Ivory and Oak candles with wooden wicks made from FSC certified Wood. You can feel good knowing that you're making a choice that is good for you, your family, and the planet.
