Fontana Essential Oil Candle | Frankincense + Myrrh

When you think of traditional Christmas scents, Frankincense and Myrrh is a classic holiday aroma!

Frankincense and myrrh are both resins extracted from trees in the Burseraceae family, also known as the torchwood or incense family. Frankincense has a woody, spicy smell while Myrrh can be described as hot, smoky, and herbaceous.

For its numerous uses, Myrrh has become one of the most extensively used essential oils around the world. For centuries, it has been used by many cultures in traditional medicine, religious observances, fumigation, culinary applications, funeral rites, purification rituals, and perfumery. 

The Hidden Dangers of Traditional Candles

Most traditional candles on the market are made with paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct that, when burned, releases toxic chemicals such as benzene and toluene—both of which are known carcinogens. These chemicals can contribute to poor indoor air quality and pose long-term health risks to both people and pets. Additionally, many candles contain artificial fragrances and dyes, which release even more toxins into the air.

These synthetic fragrances may smell pleasant, but they are often made with harmful compounds like phthalates, which are linked to hormone disruption, respiratory issues, and allergic reactions. Dogs, with their highly sensitive sense of smell, are particularly vulnerable to these chemicals. Burning candles with artificial fragrances can cause dogs to develop respiratory problems, trigger allergies, and affect their overall health.
