Why 100% Pure Beeswax Candles?? Because they are The Bee's Knees!!

Benefits of Beeswax

Pure Beeswax is one of nature’s perfect products. Prized since ancient times, fragrant beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner than ordinary wax candles. In fact, pure beeswax has the highest melting point of any known wax. Their slow, smokeless flames gives off more light and heat than other waxes and are virtually drip less “if kept away from drafts and fans”. Made by industrious honey bees from the nectar of flowers, beeswax has a sweet, natural fragrance all its own. Initially beeswax candles may seem to be more expensive than paraffin candles, yet this is not so. Paraffin wax burns away much quicker than beeswax nullifying any price disparity since beeswax has a much longer burn time.

Negative Ion Emitter

Beeswax is the only fuel to emit (Negative Ions) when burning. Dust, hair, odors and other things floating in the air are doing so because the particles are positively charged. Beeswax candles purify the air instead of giving off fumes and black soot as paraffin candles do.  Allergens and toxins become positively charged through static electricity created by heating systems and friction caused by normal activity (such as when you walk across the carpet). This ensures that the fumes are non-toxic and non-allergenic.  Pure beeswax candles help rid your home of toxins by emitting negatively, charged ions, as well as, burning away positively charged particles that float toward the burning halo flame. This process cleans the air of positive ions such as dust, odors, toxins, pollen, mold, dust mites feces, and viruses. This is beneficial for people who have allergies, and environmental sensitivities and who are diagnosed with asthma. Paraffin is a bi-proouct of the petroleum industry. It is what is left after all the gas and oil is removed from the crude oil. It needs to be bleached and scented using a chemical process, and when burned, will release these toxins and impurities into the air. People with asthma, allergies or other respiratory problems should be especially aware of this.  I only use 100% beeswax in the Candles I make.

What’s so great about beeswax as a candle and as a fuel in general? First and foremost, beeswax candles burn brighter, longer, and cleaner than any other candle! The flame emits essentially the same light spectrum as the sun and in the process of burning emits, negative ions that are known to clean the air and invigorate the body (reportedly, stimulating the puitary gland, thus increasing creativity, intuition, and dream activity).  WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BURN ANYTHING OTHER THAN PURE BEESWAX CANDLES IN THEIR HOMES?

Normally, burn about two or  three times a week for half an hour.  In flu season and when someone is sick, burn more often during the week. With parties or gatherings, burn the candles to prevent sickness and breath better!

Finally, this 100% natural fuel created by bees is naturally scented by the honey and nectar of flowers packed into the honeycombs and gives off a subtle fragrance as it burns and acts as a whole room air freshener .  In short, it’s a natural substance straight from mother nature.

 THE ART OF BURNING BEESWAX CANDLES & CARE

Whenever you light your candle, make sure the wick is trimmed to the proper length, 1/4″ or so works best and prevents the holder from overheating and cracking.

Beeswax candles should be put out by dunking the wick into the pool of liquid wax and straightening it up again (for a dunk stick you can use a chopstick, a toothpick, etc.).  Or use a candle snuffer to put out your candle.  Never blow out a beeswax candle.  The cotton wicks we put into each of these candles will continue to smolder if blown out.  Smoldering can char the wick and inhibit proper burning.

*Never leave burning candles unattended.  Keep out of reach of children.  Remove any potential
