The Truth About Toxic Home Fragrance (and Safer Alternatives)
Why Most Home Fragrance Is Toxic — and How to Create a Clean, Chemical-Free Home
We’re all bathing in chemical soup — from candles, plug-ins, dryer sheets, and body care to plastics, microplastics in food and water, and the VOCs floating through our homes.
Most people don’t notice.
Most companies don’t care.
Brands like SC Johnson (Glade), Bath & Body Works, and the big fragrance houses prioritize profit over health — selling synthetic fragrance as “comfort,” “clean,” or a thoughtful holiday gift. A $5 Walmart candle or a three-wick seasonal scent isn’t generosity. It’s negligence.
The Problem With Conventional Candles and Air Fresheners
Most conventional candles and air fresheners release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phthalates, and synthetic fragrance chemicals when burned or sprayed. These compounds are linked to headaches, hormone disruption, respiratory irritation, and nervous system overload — especially for sensitive humans, kids, and pets.
The issue isn’t scent.
The issue is how that scent is made.
What “Fragrance” Really Means (and Why It Matters)
In the U.S., the word fragrance is a legal loophole. It can represent hundreds of undisclosed chemicals — many of which are known irritants or endocrine disruptors.
You don’t get ingredient transparency.
You don’t get informed consent.
You just get “cozy.”
And your body pays the cost.
