The cleanest, brightest, and longest-burning candles are beeswax candles!
Beeswax candles are the oldest candles in the world. There was a time in the past when candles were worshipped as holy light, and beeswax was used to make homemade candle flames in temples. Today, beeswax candles can be used to add a warm atmosphere and natural light to your home life, and get a pleasant and light aroma.
Are beeswax candles safe?
Beeswax candles are safe. Pure beeswax candles are naturally smokeless and contain no chemical fragrances. In actual burning, beeswax candles produce some subtle aromatic odors, which are largely attributed to the nectar and honey originally stored in the beehive.
Beeswax is one of the densest waxes, with a melting point of about 65°C. Pure beeswax candles burn with a clean flame and almost no smoke.
Will beeswax candles have wax tears?
Beeswax candles naturally have no wax tears. Because the beeswax is densely arranged inside and has a higher melting point, these candles tend to burn slower, burn longer, and are not easy to form wax tears. In contrast, the commonly used paraffin stearic candles are prone to forming wax drips.
Are beeswax candles toxic?
Beeswax candles are non-toxic. Beeswax is a natural substance produced by bees. Pure beeswax candles are chemical-free and biodegradable
Are beeswax candles healthy?
Beeswax candles can be burned in the home. Beeswax candles are hypoallergenic and can improve air quality. They burn with little smoke or odor and clean the air when lit. Beeswax is made from a renewable resource and is also biodegradable, making it relatively environmentally friendly.
In contrast, paraffin candles are made from petroleum, which is a non-renewable resource. Petroleum undergoes a variety of chemical processes, as well as the addition of chemical reagents and synthetic fragrances before it becomes paraffin. The chemical process when burned releases additives into the air.
Do beeswax candles clean the air?
Beeswax candles clean the air. When burned, beeswax candles clean the air by releasing negative ions. Releasing negative ions into the air is the same principle as using an ionizing air purifier.
Beeswax candles can be helpful for people with asthma or allergies because the negative ions released by the melted beeswax are effective in removing common allergens from the air. Pollen, mold spores, pet dander and dust in the air carry positive charges. When negative ions bind to these positively charged particles, the particles become heavier and settle to the ground. They are unable to spread in the air, thus purifying the air and are not easily inhaled by allergy patients, thereby reducing their chances of developing the disease.
