1. Better for People with Sensitivities or Allergies

Fragranced candles often contain synthetic chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions, headaches, asthma, or other respiratory issues. Fragrance-free candles eliminate this risk, making them safer for people with sensitivities or medical conditions.

2. Cleaner Burn

Fragrance oils—especially synthetic ones—can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other potentially harmful substances when burned. Unscented candles, particularly those made from natural waxes (like beeswax or soy), generally burn cleaner and produce less indoor air pollution.

3. Better for Meditation and Focus

In activities like meditation, yoga, or reading, strong scents can be distracting. Fragrance-free candles allow you to enjoy calming candlelight without overwhelming your senses, helping you stay centered and focused.
