You’ve probably seen the words “phthalate-free” on our labels, in our posts, or mentioned quietly in our scent descriptions. It sounds science-y. It sounds important. But what does it actually mean—and why should you care?
Let’s break it down gently, no lab coat needed.
Phthalates (pronounced thal-ates) are a group of chemicals often used to make fragrances last longer or smell stronger. They're common in many conventional scented products—think perfumes, air fresheners, even some candles.
But here’s the thing: phthalates have been linked to hormone disruption and other not-so-nice stuff. And while there’s still ongoing research, we decided early on: nope, not for us.
At Halina, we believe comfort shouldn’t come with a question mark.
So when we say our candles are phthalate-free, we mean:
No unnecessary toxins in your air.
No compromises on your peace of mind.
Just beautiful, clean-burning scents that you can actually feel good about lighting
Our fragrances are thoughtfully curated—blended with high-quality, skin-safe oils that meet both US and EU safety standards. Because you deserve soft light and safe air.
So yes, we’re phthalate-free.
But also, we’re pro-kindness.
To your home, your body, your breath.
Warmly,
