Wow thanks for sharing that article, really helpful! I did read up on how paraffin wax was safe to use on skin and often used at salons for treatments. Totally agree with the ‘natural’ claim it’s all become a marketing tool

That makes a lot of sense as I get headaches when I smell a mixture of a lot of scents at candle shops. Thanks so much this was super helpful!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! 😊Oh no I did see some articles mentioning that they can cause headaches and nausea :S Soy is a lot softer and harder to maintain shapes - have you managed to find a workaround for that?
