Beeswax candles are incredible! Aside from the seriously cute shapes you can buy them in, their warm glow and natural scent, they have amazing benefits as well.

One of the most significant benefits of beeswax candles is their ability to purify the air. While burning, they release negative ions into the atmosphere which bond with positive ions found in dust, pollen and other pollutants. Then they clump together and fall to the ground, thus improving indoor air quality.

Crazy right?! I don’t mix the beeswax with anything else, not a different wax or essential oils because those are usually not meant to burn at such high temperatures. Beeswax burns CLEAN. Unlike paraffin candles which are made from petroleum byproducts and release harmful toxins when burned.

Another benefit of beeswax candles is a longer burn time. It has a higher melting point than other candle waxes, which means that they will burn longer and more efficiently.

I LOVE the natural honey scent from beeswax. It is subtle! This makes them ideal for those sensitive to strong smells as they don’t introduce additional irritants into the air.

Beeswax also has environmental benefits, it’s a natural and renewable resource. By choosing beeswax candles consumers can contribute to the health of bee populations and promote biodiversity. Additionally, beeswax candles are biodegradable.

Where I source my beeswax:

I am proud to say I source my beeswax from the local apiary, Sithean Acres Farm, located in Battle Ground, WA. I use 100% cotton wicks, lead-free.
