Candles have went from being made out of natural materials like beeswax hundreds of years ago to being made out of synthetic materials and now we are using natural materials again. The synthetic materials that candles were made out of were tallow which is animal fat. This slowly transitioned into candles made out of paraffin which is the sludge that is left in the bottom of crude oil barrels. The dark toxin filled paraffin is then bleached with more chemicals to lighten the colour of the candle. Another toxic irritant added to these candles were the synthetic fragrances to cover up their terrible crude oil smell. The lead wicks used to burn in the candles also contributed to dispersing chemicals into the air while burning. When this type of candle burns it puts very harmful poisonous fumes and carcinogens in the air that coat the walls, furnishings and our lungs. Doesn’t sound like such a good product to have in your home or to set a romantic mood!We have come to our senses and are now going back to using pure beeswax candles to burn in our homes. After realizing what we were burning and the harm it was causing to out health; we are headed back to the basics and good old nature. When looking at candles advertised as beeswax candles, be aware of the percentage of beeswax in the candle and if there are any other ingredients in the candle that you are not aware of. For a candle to be legally labeled “pure beeswax” it only has to be 51% beeswax. The 49% remaining could be made of paraffin or any other unknown matter you do no wish to have in a candle. Look for only 100% pure beeswax candles to get the best quality candle to benefit your health and home. The wick should be 100% cotton and lead free also to be safe to burn toxin free.The benefits of burning 100% pure beeswax candles are vast. These candles are made of pure and simple beeswax that produces negative ions which work like nature’s vacuum and cleans the air of dust, bacteria, viruses, mold and pollutants. This amazing characteristic is only found in 100% pure beeswax candles.

Pure beeswax candles burn very clean and even purifies the air while giving off an amiable soft glow. They are long lasting with the most beautiful sweet aroma of warm honey filling the room while they burn. 100% pure beeswax candles draw in contaminants from the air and neutralize various pollutants.
