Natural beeswax candles

Beeswax is very natural and health benefiting type of wax for candles. It can help you with many purifying properties.

It could act as an natural air-purifier. When beeswax is burning it can release negative ions witch then attach to positive ones that are found in many pollutted types of air. Burning beeswax candles can cleanse the air in your home.

Beeswax air purifying properties:

Beeswax can act as a natural air-purifier. When beeswax is burned it released negative ions which can attach to positive ions that are found in many air pollutants like dust, pollen, order, and toxins neutralizing them.

This process can help alleviate allergies and asthma. These negative ions make beeswax candles the best at neutralizing odors while other candles simply mask odor with fragrance. Therefore, beeswax is considered the cleanest burning candles, while soy candles are also relatively clean burning, they do not have the same purifying and order cleansing properties.

While paraffin wax creates both benzene and toluene which are both known carcinogens and release other toxins in the air which can trigger asthma and other breathing conditions.

Properties of the beeswax candles:

• During burning, approximately 50 different substances are released into the air, which are inhaled directly into the lungs and have a beneficial effect on the respiratory system,

• the candle with beeswax also contains propolis, which is released during combustion and by inhaling it strengthens the immune system,

• Beeswax helps and contributes to raising mood and peace, helps with concentration, balances the functioning of hormones, improves air quality, helps with insomnia, strengthens the immune system... etc.,

• When burning, beeswax emits negative particles, when they come into contact with positively charged dust particles, they only neutralize them.

• This helps to alleviate the symptoms of allergic reactions such as cough etc. helps with: certain allergies, inflammation of the sinuses, inflammation of the pharynx, mild colds, during illness it helps in healing.

Beeswax candles burn longer and more slowly and evenly that other types of candles. Beeswax candle starts burning and melting at 60°C, while soy wax candles start at much lower 48°C.

Eco-friendly and infinitely sustainable:

For the environmentalist out there (which we proudly are) is beeswax sustainable? Yes, but we can tell you exactly why and how it stacks up to the sustainability of other waxes like soy and paraffin wax.

First on the hit list, we have the harmful type of wax witch is paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is the most used wax and the easiest to work with, the wax is also called petroleum wax since it is derived from petroleum. Almost all the big store candles, like Yankee Candle, uses this harmful paraffin wax.

Beeswax candles are entirely sustainable; beeswax is a natural bi-product bees produce. If there are bees, there will be beeswax so when you buy beeswax candles you also support beekeepers who work to maintain their bee populations in order to maintain the production of honey.

The summary is:

Beeswax is the best qualitiy of wax that can be used in candles, but those benefits come with a cost. Beeswax is far more expensive than soy and is almost incomparable to the cost of cheap crude oil derivative of paraffin wax.

To put it simply you can think of these three waxes like this, beeswax is good, soy is neutral, and paraffin is negative and harmful.
