Candles are one of life’s simplest comforts, but if you live with a four-legged companion, it’s natural to wonder...Are scented candles safe for dogs?

The short answer is: some are, some aren’t.
The difference lies in the ingredients.

Many store-bought candles are made from paraffin wax, synthetic fragrance oils, and chemical dyes. A combination that can release irritants when burned. While these may be tolerable for humans, pets are more sensitive to airborne toxins due to their smaller size and faster respiratory systems.

At Mistyque, we believe your home should be a sanctuary not just for you, but for your dog too. That’s why every candle we make is carefully formulated to be as gentle as it is effective. We don’t chase overpowering scents or flashy trends. Instead, we create subtle, nature-inspired blends that elevate your space without overwhelming it.

Our wax is made from coconut and rapeseed. Two of the cleanest-burning, most sustainable waxes available. You won’t find paraffin, phthalates, or synthetic dyes in any of our products. Just honest ingredients, carefully selected to support your well-being and your dog’s comfort.

Whether you're lighting a candle to slow down after a busy day or to bring a warm glow to your morning routine, you can trust that Mistyque’s natural candles are safe, sustainable, and mindful.

Because creating calm shouldn’t come at a cost, especially not to the ones you love.
