Clean Fragrance Explained 🌿 (and why that matters 🧐)

Clean Fragrance Explained: What’s Not in Our Products (and Why That Matters)

When you light a candle, you deserve more than just a beautiful fragrance—you deserve peace of mind. At Abundant Vibes Candles & Scents, we believe luxury should never come at the cost of your health or the environment. That’s why every candle we create is crafted with clean, consciously chosen ingredients and absolutely free from the industry shortcuts that can sneak into many fragrance products.

Today, let’s pull back the curtain and talk about what’s not in our candles, room sprays, diffusers, and perfumes —and why that matters for you, your home, and the planet.

🚫 Phthalates: No Place in Your Home

Phthalates are chemicals that make plastics more flexible and durable, and are often used to make fragrances last longer or smell stronger in personal care products. While effective, they’ve been linked to hormone disruption (called "endocrine-disrupting chemicals") and other health concerns, like headaches when a scented product is burning or diffusing. You won’t find them in our products—ever. Instead, we use carefully selected clean fragrance oils that deliver rich, lasting scent without compromise.

⸝

🚫 Parabens: Not Our Style

Parabens - another endocrine or hormone disruptor - are preservatives commonly used in cosmetics and fragrances to extend shelf life by preventing bacteria and fungi to grow. The problem? They’ve also raised red flags in studies around potential health risks, similar to phthalates. Your wellness is worth more than a longer expiration date, so we leave parabens behind in favor of safer alternatives that are still long lasting.

🚫 Sulfates & Harsh Chemicals: A Harsh “No” from Us

Harsh additives like sulfates may work in some cleaning products, but they have no business being in your candles. We stick to ingredients that are safe, gentle, and designed to enhance your space—not irritate it.

⸝

🚫 Animal Testing: Compassion First

Luxury without compassion isn’t luxury at all. Our candles are cruelty-free, which means none of our products—or the ingredients inside them—are ever tested on animals. They also don't contain any animal or insect products, and so they are 100% vegan.

What You Do Get in Our Candles and Scents

✨ Clean fragrance oils—crafted without phthalates and parabens, so you can breathe easy and have a headache-free experience along your scented journey.

✨ Natural coconut apricot wax—renewable, biodegradable, and burns cleaner (meaning less soot and smoke!) than paraffin and soy wax.

✨ Vegan ingredients derived from nature's best - nothing is tested or made from animals and only includes organic, plant-based ingredients. Better for you, me, your loved ones, and the plant.

✨ Cotton wicks—lead-free and designed for an even, beautiful burn.

⸝

Why It Matters

A clean scented product isn’t just about what you avoid—it’s about how you feel before, during, and after you use it. When you light one of our candles, set out one of our diffusers, or spritz one of our room sprays or perfumes - you’re not just filling your home with fragrance; you’re choosing peace of mind, safer air quality, and sustainable luxury.

Because at Abundant Vibes Candles & Scents, we believe you deserve to enjoy life’s little luxuries without ever having to question what’s inside them.
