Benefits of Beeswax

Burning candles can add fragrance and ambiance to your home or office. There are some drawbacks to commercial paraffin candles, however, which can be avoided by burning organic beeswax candles.

Smokeless

Beeswax candles burn without smoke, unlike paraffin candles, which exude soot that can clog filters and discolor or build up on surfaces.

Dripless

Beeswax burns clean, so that when the candle is gone, there is no mess left behind to scrape off candle holders or tables.

Neutralizing Pollutants

Beeswax candles produce negative ions when burned, and those ions help to neutralize pollutants in the air. This helps eliminate dust, odors, and mold in the atmosphere, easing allergy and asthma symptoms and improving breathing for anyone nearby.

Light

Beeswax candles have the brightest, purest light of any candle and are closest to natural sunlight. If the candles are to be used as a light source, this can help minimize eye strain and reduce headaches.

Economical

Beeswax burns significantly longer than petroleum-based paraffin candles. Since beeswax has a higher melting point than paraffin, it burns more slowly. Beeswax candles burn more efficiently, and as a result are more economical.
