At Gilded Nights, we are committed to creating products that are not only luxurious but also mindful of your health and the environment. That’s why we’ve chosen to avoid using paraffin, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates in our candles and personal care items. Our dedication to excluding these ingredients ensures that you enjoy a cleaner, more natural experience, free from potentially harmful chemicals and synthetic additives. By prioritizing high-quality, non-toxic ingredients, we strive to offer products that are both effective and kind to you and the planet.
Phthalates are chemicals used to enhance the durability and longevity of fragrances in products like candles. However, concerns about their potential health effects, including hormonal disruptions and reproductive issues, have led many consumers to seek phthalate-free options. Avoiding phthalates helps reduce exposure to these harmful effects and supports a healthier lifestyle.
Parabens are synthetic preservatives used to prevent bacterial growth and extend the shelf life of products. Despite their effectiveness, parabens have been linked to hormone disruption and potential health risks, such as breast cancer. As a result, many people opt for paraben-free candles to avoid these risks and choose safer, more natural alternatives.
Sulfates are cleansing agents that create lather and remove impurities in various products, including some candles. However, they can be harsh and may cause skin irritation or dryness. To promote gentler, skin-friendly products, many consumers prefer sulfate-free candles that offer a milder and more soothing experience.
Paraffin Wax is a common type of wax derived from petroleum. It is widely used in candles due to its affordability, smooth burn, and ability to hold color and fragrance well. However, as a byproduct of fossil fuels, its production raises environmental concerns, and burning paraffin candles can release potentially harmful chemicals, such as benzene and toluene, into the air.
Choosing products free from phthalates, parabens, paraffin, and sulfates helps minimize exposure to potentially harmful chemicals and supports a healthier, more natural lifestyle.
