00:00I have a scented candle that is so smelly that I can smell it from here.

00:05Bright blue candle ocean mist.

00:08Yeah, it's troubling because it could be emitting forever chemicals.

00:13Just the fact that you can smell it without it being lit and the color of it, right?

00:19As well as lack of ingredients.

00:21Does it say what's in it?

00:22There are absolutely no ingredients on this.

00:24This is troubling.

00:25I mean, it's possible that there's no PFAS in it, but my guess is it's got plenty of them.

00:32How is a scented...

00:33See, I love candles.

00:34I do too.

00:35But how is a scented candle a toxin in the environment?

00:40Because now you're putting these right into the air you're breathing.

00:43Okay.

00:44And so you're basically inhaling these forever chemicals, which you don't really want to put into your body.

00:51Is there a slightly better candle?

00:53Like you see the soy-based ones?

00:56I don't have any candles that are a color.

00:59The color might be an indicator that we're getting into artificial stuff.

01:02Okay.

01:03But the question is, why not put the ingredients like what you just had for the hairspray?

01:08Show us what's in it.

01:10We deserve that.

01:11And if it's got a fluorocarbon in there, we know it's non-degradable and it's going to get in our body and we can't get rid of it.
