Why Use Pure Beeswax Candles
Most of the candles on the market today are made from paraffin since it costs less and burns smoother, however, the true best choice is pure beeswax candles. They are more economic in the long run, better for your health, better for the environment and have a unique beauty and perfume. If you burn a beeswax candle without any wind around they are smokeless and drip less, which means you consume all the wax in each candle and they burn up to 5 times longer than a paraffin candle.
Paraffin candles, on the other hand, create pollution in your home – not only marking walls and ceilings with black smoke, but literally polluting your lungs as paraffin is full of toxic chemicals that are carcinogenic and the wicks often have lead cores....as they go up in smoke you breath it all in. If you are hypoallergenic, beeswax candles can help and are recommended for those who suffer from asthma and chemical sensitivities. Another interesting fact is that beeswax is the only wax to emit a negative ion when it burns, these help to keep the air clean of dust, smoke, and pollen – as well as reducing fatigue. Try to keep one on your work desk and see if it helps.
