Why choose candles free of parabens and phthalates?

Parabens are preservatives used in many cosmetic and fragrance products to extend their shelf life, while phthalates are compounds that help the scent "linger" in the air longer. Although they seem practical, both ingredients are linked to skin irritation, hormonal imbalances, and some even to potential long-term health consequences.

For individuals with sensitive skin, allergies, pregnant women, or small children, products containing these ingredients can be particularly problematic. That is why at Riona we use only paraben-free and phthalate-free fragrances – so that everyone can enjoy the warmth of our candles without worry.

Our fragrances are gentle and safer to use in enclosed spaces, making them ideal for everyday ambiance, without compromise.
