When you burn a candle, where does the wax go??? It evaporates??? And if so, where the hell does it go when it solidifies again??? I’m just realizing there is a lot of matter that’s unaccounted for! 🤔

For example, many paintings, portraits and historiated windows in cathedrals had been ruined by evaporated and burned wax 🤷🏻♂️

Wax is fused hydrogen and carbon. The fire oxidizes (bonds with oxygen) the hydrogen into water vapor, and the carbon into carbon dioxide, both gasses float away, much like live butterflies. There is literally ZERO matter that is unaccounted for.

That's why I use Scentsy. Cos the wax doesn't disappear and that stops my paranoia lol

That’s actually part of why candles and oils and plug ins are medically harmful :/

You breathe it? There’s a big push for “clean” burning candles that have less chemicals in them & I think it’s because the chemicals get into the air and we breathe in the gross crap. Idk, I’m no scientist
