As far as candles are concerned, Beeswax is, in our humble opinion, one of the best products for the mind, body, soul AND those of the planet. 

It is made directly from bees for their honeycombs - in fact, it is secreted by these apis Mellifera after they consume honey. You can’t get much more natural than that!

Beeswax is chock-full of benefits, here are a few to get started:

Naturally purifies the air

Non-toxic

Renewable resource

Naturally fragranced with honey

Longer burn time

Soot-free

Candles emits a softer, more ambient light

Yes, it can be tempting to choose a fragrance fusion that resembles a yummy dessert or the scents of the Italian seaside.

Yet there are several health dangers associated with using fragranced candles. These are related to the carcinogenic soot that is released when burning a candle made from paraffin—a petroleum byproduct. They can also cause respiratory issues.

Beeswax emits the natural, subtle fragrance of honey. It is perfect for any room in your home - including the dinner table! It has a gentle strength, so it’s manageable for even the most sensitive noses.

Bloom is a natural process that happens to beeswax. Blooms refers to the whitish cast that takes over the wax. It does not affect the way that the candle burns. It is simply a natural process of the softer oils of the beeswax rising to the outside surface. If the beeswax appears to have bloom, gently warm it up with a hair dryer for example.
