Why Bee Coco Candle Is Paraben & Phthalate Free — And Why It Matters for Your Health

At Bee Coco Candle, our commitment to being paraben-free and phthalate-free isn’t just a marketing claim—it’s deeply personal. The owner, Noreen, lives with autoimmune issues, making it essential to avoid harmful chemicals in everyday products. That’s why all our candles contain:

• No soy
• No gluten
• No parabens
• No phthalates

Choosing clean, toxin-free products is critical—not only for those managing autoimmune conditions but for everyone invested in long-term health and wellness.

What Are Parabens and Phthalates?

• Parabens are preservatives used to keep products fresh and prevent bacterial growth. They’re commonly found in cosmetics, skincare, and even some candles.
• Phthalates are chemicals used to increase flexibility in plastics and stabilize fragrances in scented products.

Though useful for manufacturers, these chemicals can interfere with your body’s natural systems.

Why Avoid Parabens and Phthalates?

Both parabens and phthalates are endocrine disruptors—meaning they can interfere with hormone function. Hormones regulate vital processes including immune response, metabolism, and growth.

For people with autoimmune diseases, whose immune systems are already sensitive or overactive, exposure to these disruptors can:

• Increase inflammation and worsen symptoms
• Trigger flare-ups or new immune reactions
• Contribute to chronic health challenges

What About Everyone Else?

Even if you don’t have an autoimmune condition, limiting parabens and phthalates is wise:

• Parabens may mimic estrogen, with potential links to cancer risk
• Phthalates have been connected to reproductive and respiratory problems
• Both accumulate in the body over time due to widespread exposure
