How Do Soy Candles Support A Healthier Home Environment?

The soft glow of a candle shouldn’t come with a scratchy throat. We dig into the surprising truth behind wax choices, wick design, and fragrance load so your cozy ritual supports cleaner air instead of filling your space with soot and irritants. Trang Nguyen, maker behind CVA Products, compares paraffin, soy, beeswax, and coconut, unpacking why a label that says “soy blend” doesn’t always mean what you think and how allergies and asthma can flare when the wrong materials meet an overloaded scent.

We walk through practical, shopper-ready tips: how to tell if a candle is truly 100 percent soy, why beeswax burns long and clean, and when coconut works for performance but not for households with coconut sensitivities. You’ll hear why soot isn’t just a wax problem but also a wick problem, how cotton and engineered wood wicks behave differently, and the simple burn habits that set memory, prevent tunneling, and keep smoke to a minimum. Along the way we demystify fragrance: supplier-recommended percentages for soy (often 10 to 12 percent), the risks of cranking up the load to chase a stronger scent, and an easy market test for spotting candles that are too overpowering before you even pick up a jar.

If you care about air quality, have kids or teens with sensitivities, or just want a calm home without chemical fog, this guide arms you with questions to ask and labels to decode. Learn to choose materials that fit your values, avoid triggers that sneak up over time, and make every burn session slower, cleaner, and more enjoyable.

How Can Natural Balms Help With Baby Skin - Eczema, Cradle Cap, And Diaper Rash?

Parents want calm skin without the guesswork, and that’s exactly where we start. Baby skin is thin, fast‑absorbing, and easily irritated, so we break down a safe path: fewer ingredients, no fragrances, and slow herbal infusions that actually soothe. We explain why a simple balm made from shea butter, cocoa butter, and oils infused with chamomile and calendula can outpace flashy formulas—especially when you apply it consistently three times a day during flares.

As kids move into toddler years, triggers become obvious. We share real‑world examples of food sensitivities and fragranced products causing rapid rashes, plus a straightforward strategy to isolate what’s causing trouble. You’ll hear how our 12‑week infusion process avoids essential oils while still delivering calming plant compounds, why neem can support cracked skin in adults, and how barrier‑focused care helps itchy patches, bug bites, and stubborn dryness settle down.

The surprise hero of the episode is cradle cap care. Instead of coating the scalp in oils that linger, we make the case for pure coconut oil soap as a focused daily cleanse. Combined with clean gauze to gently lift buildup, this approach took healing from months to weeks for our family and customers. We finish with an everyday diaper rash routine you can actually keep: frequent changes, careful drying, then a thin layer of unscented balm to shield skin from moisture and friction. If you’re ready to simplify, rebuild the barrier, and get consistent results across baby, toddler, and adult skin, this one’s for you.

If this helped, follow the show, share it with a parent who needs a win, and leave a quick review so more families can find gentle, effective skincare advice.

3 Must Haves For Skin With Eczema : Artisan Soap, Moisturizer And Laundry Detergent 

Struggling with eczema can feel like an endless battle of itching, flare-ups, and frustration – especially when the "solutions" involve steroids and chemicals that create more problems than they solve.

Today, CVA Products founder Trang Nguyen reveals her gentle three-part system that transformed her daughter's bleeding, cracked skin into healthy, calm skin in just seven days. This straightforward approach begins in an unexpected place: your laundry room. The commercial detergents most families use unwittingly create a constant source of irritation through clothing and bedding. Trang walks us through her simple, cost-effective alternative using just washing soda and baking soda that removes this hidden trigger from your daily life.

The heart of her system is a carefully crafted soothing balm, infused with herbs through a traditional 12-week process that extracts the healing properties of calendula and chamomile. Unlike conventional moisturizers that require constant reapplication, this unscented balm creates a protective barrier that lasts all day – even in harsh winter conditions. With powerful ingredients like neem oil and cocoa butter, it provides a genuine alternative to steroid treatments for those with severe skin irritation.

Beyond external care, Trang shares crucial insights about identifying personal triggers through careful observation and testing. From food sensitivities to temperature changes, understanding your unique eczema triggers can dramatically reduce flare-ups. Whether you're dealing with your child's sensitive skin or your own adult eczema, this episode offers practical wisdom from someone who's been there.

What Ingredients Should Families Avoid In Everyday Skincare?

Navigating the world of skincare can feel like walking through a minefield, especially for those with sensitive skin or parents trying to protect their little ones from harsh ingredients. This eye-opening conversation with Trang Nguyen, founder of CVA Products, cuts through the confusion and marketing hype to reveal what's really hiding in your everyday products.

Trang shares surprising insights about common irritants that many people don't suspect, including seemingly innocent ingredients like baking soda in bath bombs and the stark difference between kitchen baking soda and the type used in cleaning products. She explains why certain preservatives are necessary in liquid products while offering practical guidance on selecting safer alternatives. Her personal experiences with her daughter's severe skin sensitivities provide relatable context for families struggling with similar challenges.

The discussion takes a fascinating turn when exploring misleading industry terms like "hypoallergenic" and "dermatologist tested" - labels that offer little real protection for sensitive individuals. Trang offers practical advice for deciphering complex ingredient lists and shares her recommendation to seek out artisanal products from local makers who can directly answer questions about their formulations. For parents of babies and young children, her guidance on age-appropriate skincare is particularly valuable, including when it's safe to introduce scented products.

Whether you're dealing with your own sensitive skin, caring for a child with eczema, or simply looking to make more informed choices about what you put on your body's largest organ, this conversation provides accessible wisdom from someone who's been there.

Meet the Host: Trang Nguyen, founder of CVA Products

Ever wondered what drives someone to create a skincare line? For Trang Nguyen, founder of CVA Products, it wasn't ambition but desperation. After watching her daughter suffer from severe eczema for four years, relying on steroid creams that concerned her, Trang took matters into her own hands during the pandemic lockdowns.

The transformation began with research into goat milk soap. Not content to simply purchase products, Trang attended soapmaking classes and developed formulations specifically for sensitive skin. When her daughter's skin dramatically improved without steroids, Trang knew she had to share her discovery with others struggling with similar conditions. Thus, CVA Products was born in Keller, Texas – a side business she runs while maintaining another full-time job and raising four children.

What sets CVA Products apart isn't just the quality of their handmade soaps and balms, but Trang's genuine commitment to helping people. She shares touching stories of customers finding relief, including a child with severely cracked, bleeding hands whose skin healed completely after using her balm. Perhaps most revealing is how Trang personally reaches out to customers who order products that might not address their specific conditions, sometimes even recommending alternatives that aren't her own products. "I want to educate people what they need to do to help their own kids or help themselves," she explains, demonstrating that her business is built on compassion rather than mere commerce.
