Ok so here's the science bit - pollutants in the air like pollen, dander and other junk all carry a positive charge which keeps them suspended in the air. Now when you light a pure beeswax candle it releases ions which negate the positive charge of air pollutants, and the neutralized ions are sucked back into the burning candle or fall to the ground. WOW who knew that these little honey bees not only produce honey but lots more wonderful natural healing products. Beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner leaving no residue or soot so you are not breathing in any chemicals or additives.
Beeswax candles are a natural treatment for common allergies. Also they are good for insomnia and depression as the earthy scent released and natural ionisation helps clear the air and the mind. Candles made with pure beeswax burn longer and brighter and give off a bright, healthful light similar to the sun hence it can lighten our mood.
Yes they may cost a lot more than a paraffin candle but would you run a pipe from your car exhaust into your living room because that is the same as burning a cheap candle blurghhhh! When paraffin candles burn, they emit black soot and toxic fumes—similar in chemistry to diesel exhaust—containing poisonous chemicals such as benzene, toluene, naphthalene, tri-decane, tetra-decane, penta-decane, and hexadecane.
It is estimated that the bees must fly 150,000 miles to collect enough nectar to produce six pounds of honey just to secrete one pound of wax.
While beeswax candles originate from a renewable fuel, beeswax, paraffin ones originate from a non-renewable resource, petroleum.
Burn time around 30 hours for the large hex pillar to 6 hours for the little skep.
Disclaimer - trim the wick to 5mm before use. Burn on a heat resistant surface. Never leave a candle unattended. Keep lit candles out of reach of pets and children.
