Would it be right to state that beeswax candles are a healthy option compared to candles from other waxes? Beeswax is a fully natural product without any additional materials. It is sustainable and ecologically friendly. We use only 100% pure beeswax in our candles despite the EU requirement of only 50% or more.
Beeswax is made to store honey. It’s collection is not abuse or animal cruelty - in fact, the honey bee (the worlds most important pollinator) is under siege from Varroa, a mite that causes colony collapse widely in the temperate regions of the world. Beekeeping is important to their continued existence, which again is vital to our own.
Beeswax burns slower and at a higher temperature than other candle materials. Up to twice the burn time of some paraffins and stearins. They are therefore an excellent source of heat as well as long lasting.
Beeswax is said to be hypoallergenic. Containg few, if any, pathogens and no known allergenics. They are better tolerated by people with respiratory problems.
Beeswax is naturally scented. No need for either synthetic or essential oils to provide a soothing and welcoming natural honey scent in your home.
Beeswax burns at a higher temperature and smoke and soot less than other candle materials. If burned correctly they should not leave soot on walls and ceilings.
A well made beeswax candle hardly drips if at all while kept out of draught. The wax can be easily removed from textiles with a paper towel pressed down with a hot iron.
Beeswax emits stronger light than other candle materials. The light is yellow, in a similar place on the light spectrum as sunlight. The yellow in the beeswax flame decreases neurological stimulation and ensuing sleep disturbances.
Beeswax is more costly than other candle materials which are either made from fossil fuels or as a byproduct of industrial farming and agriculture (causing soil erosion and deforestation). Instead the wax is made, drop by tiny drop, by living hardworking beings. It is one of the most precious gifts of nature and should be valued as such.
To be honest, one has to question whether burning a candle indoors can be considered healty. But for those who love a flickering candlelight and the sweet scent of honey and pollen permeating the home - a beeswax candle is doubtlessly a safer, and healthier, option.
Respect nature - thank the bees.
