Why Burn Beeswax? Beeswax
candles have been the choice of candle connoisseurs throughout the ages.
Beeswax is 100% natural and a renewable resource that actually cleans
the air by emitting purifying negative ions.
Most candles are made with paraffin, a petroleum by-product, which is
not natural and is unhealthy to burn. To prepare it for candle making,
it is chemically bleached and hardened, then artificially scented.
Burning paraffin emits harmful, black soot and pollutes the air.
Currently, there are no regulations in the U.S. on disclosing
ingredients on candle labels. You may find candles labeled "beeswax"
that are made with paraffin, or other candle waxes, and contain as
little as 1% beeswax. We are very proud to say that we use 100% beeswax
in all of our candles, with the exception of a select few that are a
blend of 50% beeswax and 50% soy wax, and are noted as such. The soy wax
is added to help with the burn quality of certain candles.
Beeswax, the purest of all candle waxes, is a product of the sustainable
industry of beekeeping. The simple filtration of beeswax is a natural
process that uses no chemicals and very little energy. Beeswax is
naturally aromatic, infused with the sweet, subtle scent of honey. Being
nontoxic and nonallergenic, beeswax candles burn clean and soot free.
While burning, they release negative ions, just as seashores or
rainstorms do. These negative ions improve air quality by eliminating
pollutants and allergens from the air that we breathe. The high melting
and burning temperature of beeswax translates into exceptionally long
burn times. While burning, their golden flames glow with the same energy
and spectrum of light as the sun. Beeswax candles are the ultimate in
beauty and luxury. They are the natural choice for people who care about
their health and the health of the environment.
