ORGANIC TREAT tallow candles are made entirely of non-toxic materials and have a total burning time of 4 to 5 hours. Ordinary candles often use toxic ingredients such as paraffin, which, when burned, can release various harmful substances such as benzene and toluene. These toxins can pollute the air in the room and cause various health problems such as asthma, allergies and even have carcinogenic effects. A tallow candle is a safe alternative that provides a pleasant atmosphere without the risk of toxic fumes. Ordinary candles can have one or more of these ingredients: lead, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and acrolein, but also the deposition of black soot (BSD), naphthalene, alkanes, wax esters, alkanic and alkenic acids and alkenes, artificial fragrances, etc. Burning and inhaling the fumes of these toxic substances has been shown to be carcinogenic and hormone-destructive.

"Fragrance" is a keyword in the industry with the hidden meaning of "we don't want you to know what it is". Synthetic fragrances are known to contain synthetic musk and phthalates, which are harmful to health. Especially phthalates, which are considered a hormonally disrupting chemical that has been linked to infertility, weight gain, lowering children's IQ, and is a known carcinogen. Scented colored candles can look really beautiful, but almost every time you see a colored candle, it's made with petroleum byproducts to get that coloration.
Our tallow candles have a slight biscuit scent, like many of our creams. This fragrance is created from all-natural food spices - cinnamon, ginger, cloves, turmeric, star anise.
