With so many choices in today’s candle market, from soy and palm to paraffin wax, and a wide range of sizes, shapes, and scents, the question arises: Why choose a pure beeswax candle?
A pure beeswax candle gives a toxic-free burn
One of the key advantages of pure beeswax candles is their ability to burn without releasing harmful toxins. When a pure beeswax candle flickers, it produces a clean, toxin-free burn, meaning no harmful fumes are emitted. Our beeswax candles are made from 100% pure Australian beeswax with a cotton wick, ensuring that you’re getting a completely natural product. In contrast, many other candles—such as those made from soy, paraffin, or palm—often contain artificial fragrances, which can pose health risks. Growing evidence suggests that these synthetic fragrances can contribute to respiratory issues and endocrine disruption.
Longer burn time
Beeswax is renowned for outlasting most other candle types when it comes to burn time. For example, our individual tea lights burn for 4-5 hours, and our largest pillar candles burns for approximately 85 hours. By comparison a soy or paraffin candle of equivalent size will burn at almost twice the rate of a beeswax candle, making a beeswax candle a much more efficient choice.
Great for purifying the air
A burning pure beeswax candle is one of nature’s most effective air purifiers. As it flickers, it releases negative ions that attach to positively charged particles in the air (including dust), causing them to float to the ground and resulting in cleaner, fresher air. These candles can also be helpful for individuals with hay fever or allergies, as they assist in clearing the air and reducing airborne irritants.
Subtle scent of honey
There’s no need to add artificial fragrance to beeswax candles, as they naturally emit a subtle, honey scent that evokes a sense of the outdoors and connects you to nature. This natural scent comes from the blend of pollen and nectar the bees collect in their daily activities. As a result, each batch of beeswax can vary in colour and have its own unique aroma, depending on what flowers and areas the bees have been visiting.
A pure beeswax candle has a glow like no other
There’s nothing quite like the golden glow of a pure beeswax candle flame. Its gentle, calming light is often compared to the soft hue of the winter sun. Burning a beeswax candle in the evening creates a peaceful ambiance, ideal for soothing the mind in preparation for a good night’s sleep.
