View Test ResultsHow It Works

What this means

Reading the graphic
For every ~10,000 airborne microbes at the start, about 1 remained by the end — an up-to-99.99% reduction in testing.
What was tested
Live bacteria and virus surrogates (and yeast/mold) were released into a sealed test chamber, then air samples were measured over time as a Glow Guardian candle burned.
What changed
Airborne microbe levels dropped sharply compared with an untreated control run — up to 99.99% reduction for the bacteria tested by the end of the evaluation.
What this means at home
While it burns, the candle helps reduce airborne particles in the room around it — a calmer, fresher-feeling space, with naturally derived ingredients.

Lab-Proven Results

Your peace of mind is our priority. To ensure true performance, Glow Guardian was rigorously tested by an independent laboratory using FDA & ASHRAE Testing methods for Air Purification.

How Glow Guardian works: light the candle, patented formula activates, air is continuously purified

A New Kind of Air-Purifying Candle

The reduction over time

Viral surrogates: rapid reduction
Airborne virus-like particles fell quickly once the candle was lit.
Bacterial surrogates: sustained reduction
Bacteria levels kept dropping throughout the evaluation window.

Understanding the Results

The charts above track airborne bacteria and virus surrogates inside a sealed test chamber while a Glow Guardian candle burned. Each curve falls steadily over time — viral surrogates drop quickly once the candle is lit, while bacterial levels keep declining throughout the test. By the end of the evaluation every tested surrogate was reduced by more than 99% versus an untreated control, reaching the up-to-99.99% reduction shown in the per-organism results.
