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 viruses 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 viruses and bacteria 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.

Understanding the Results

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