WHY CHOOSE BEESWAX?

When you buy a candle, you happily envision a beautiful warm glow and a soft soothing aroma. If you

buy a commercially made candle, however, you get even more: toxic fumes and soot!

MOST CANDLES ARE MADE OF PARAFFIN

Paraffin candles begin as toxic gray sludge from the back of the petroleum refinery. Paraffin is

processed, bleached, texturized, dyed and perfumed to mask its true nature. Paraffin wax releases the

same toxic fumes and carcinogens such as toluene and benzene, as diesel fuel when burned.

BENEFITS OF BEESWAX

Beeswax however is completely natural and a perfect renewable source as they are effectively carbon

neutral and great for the environment. Beeswax candles are smokeless, dripless and soot free.

Because beeswax has a higher melting point than other waxes, they burn up to 10 times longer than

paraffin candles and give off more light and glow than other wax candles. With this, the superior

burn times make beeswax candles a better value than paraffin. Beeswax candles are all natural, non

toxic, non allergenic and emit a natural honey aroma without the use of any artificial fragrance. Its

the only truly safe candle to burn indoors for anyone with allergies or chemical sensitivities. Beeswax

emits beneficial negative ions when burned which remove positively charged particles of dust, pollen,

mold, odours, toxins and mildew from the air. Beeswax candles leave your air fresher and cleaner-

they are a true air purifier, a natural ioniser and are kinder to our planet. By purchasing beeswax

candles, not only are you adding beautiful ambience to your event, but you are also giving on many

other levels- to your health, the environment, to regional Australia and to a talented community of

artisan candle makers.
