The Health Benefits of Beeswax Candles
When you burn pure beeswax candles, you're not just creating ambiance—you're actually improving your indoor air quality. Beeswax candles naturally emit negative ions when burned, which bind to positively charged particles like dust, pollen, mold, and other pollutants, causing them to fall to the ground and effectively cleaning the air. This makes beeswax candles particularly beneficial for people with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to synthetic fragrances.
Unlike paraffin candles (made from petroleum) that release harmful chemicals like toluene and benzene when burned, our pure beeswax candles are completely natural and non-toxic. They produce minimal smoke and soot, making them a healthier choice for your home and family.

Burn Time & Care
Our pure beeswax candles burn significantly longer than paraffin or soy candles due to beeswax's higher melting point and density. Burn times vary by candle size and style:
- Jar candles: Approximately 25-40 hours depending on size
- Honeycomb pillars: Approximately 15-30 hours depending on size
- Dinner candles: Approximately 8-12 hours per pair
Care tips: For best results, trim the wick to 6mm before each use. Allow the wax to melt to the edges on the first burn to prevent tunneling. Keep candles away from drafts for an even, steady burn. Never leave burning candles unattended.
