Not all candles are alike. In fact, beeswax is the highest quality of wax there is. It is the cleanest, most pure and natural candle you can burn. It is well known for the beautiful natural light that brings a warm ambience to any room. Often connected to relaxation, beeswax candles also have a long connection to history in which it was used for religious ceremonies and the preferred candle of royalty.
Unlike their soy & paraffin counterparts, beeswax has many reported health benefits, which is the one of the most special & important things about beeswax. These benefits can include:
- hypo allergenic qualities- making it a healthier alternative for people who have allergy sensitivities or respiratory conditions, especially compared to other candle alternatives which can worsen allergy and respiratory symptoms.
- emitting negative ions- beeswax is said to emit negative ions when burnt- which means it attracts the positive ions in the environment and cancels them out- especially beneficial for odour and bacteria.
- natural and non toxic- other candles can produce traces of chemicals into the air. Beeswax burns cleanly and does not emit toxins into the air. Especially when the beeswax used is 100% pure and has no added no fragrance oils or essential oils added to the wax. It has its own subtle sweet, honey aroma- there is simply no need for added fragrances.
- added to this, beeswax is a naturally hardened wax- the beeswax we use is 100% pure, meaning no hardeners or additives have been added. Given that it’s a hardened wax, this also means that burns longer than other candles.
- clean burning- with proper candle care, your candle should produce no soot residue nor should it drip wax. Making it much easier to clean up after.
