Beeswax candles are considered costly compared with regular candles, here are 10 good reasons why you should use them apart from their natural aesthetic value.
- Rare and expensive. Beeswax costs about 10 times more than paraffin. It is estimated that the bees must fly 240 000 kilometres to collect enough nectar to produce 3 kilos of honey just to secrete 500 grams of wax. And for every 45 kilos of honey harvested, the beekeeper can only obtain about 450 grams of the beeswax.
- Created by the bees, 100% natural, all chemical-free. Oldest candle known to man and very much prized since ancient times.
- Environmentally friendly and safe, non-toxic. Beeswax burns very clean with little smoke when trimmed, as they are not oil-based. 100% beeswax candles are natural, undergoes no chemical processing and are biodegradable.
- Smell great as they are naturally scented by the honey and floral nectar in the honeycomb; carbon-neutral.
- Have a high melting point which results in a significantly longer (2-5 times) burn time and drip very little, if any at all. This offsets their higher cost.
- Burn stronger and brighter. Emit naturally bright light of the same light spectrum as the sun (Green Rhino Spectrum, Solar Spectrum). They are a gift from nature!
- Burn with even more beauty with age. Over time, beeswax develops a white film (especially in cooler climate), which is deemed as a very desirable feature. - Synthetic waxes do not bloom as time passes.
- The only candle that emits negative ions to purify, cleanse, improve air quality, and invigorate the body. A natural ionizer! - Synthetic waxes produce harmful black soot that leaves streaks of black residue and stains home interior surfaces.
- Hypo-allergenic, benefit those with environmental allergies, sensitivities, and asthma.
- Originate from a renewable fuel - beeswax.
