Refillable Candles

Most candles are made with paraffin wax in whole or part. When paraffin wax is burned it releases toxic chemicals into the air - benzene and toluene. They are both known carcinogens linked to asthma and lung cancer. You want to avoid paraffin wax. Luckily, there are companies putting your healthy and safety first with clean wax options!

When I moved to the Tampa Bay area I found an awesome zero waste refill store, Lufka. They have candles ready to purchase in mason jars or you can have one custom made with your favorite scent and your own container. That's what I did. I brought this wide glass dish and asked for Frankincense as the scent. It turned out beautifully and smells amazing! I love lightling it in my bedroom at night as a part of my wind down routine.

If you live in the Tampa Bay area, head to one of Lufka's amazing locations to discover or make your favorite refill candle. If you don't live near Tampa, visit my Refill Store Directory to find a local refill store near you!
