Candles have been a source of light, ambiance, and warmth for centuries. However, not all candles are created equal. When it comes to choosing the best type of wax for your candles, beeswax stands out as the healthiest and most natural option. At The Wicked Bee, we pride ourselves on crafting 100% pure beeswax candles that offer numerous benefits over other types of wax. Let's explore why beeswax is the best choice for your home and health:
Natural and Sustainable
Beeswax is a natural byproduct of honey production, made by bees to build their honeycombs. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, beeswax is a renewable resource.
2. Hypoallergenic and Safe for Sensitivities
For those with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities, beeswax candles are a breath of fresh air—literally. Unlike paraffin candles, which can release soot and harmful toxins, pure beeswax candles produce little to no soot and contain no synthetic chemicals or fragrances.
3. Longer Burn Time
Beeswax is denser and has a higher melting point than other type of wax, which means beeswax candles burn longer and more evenly. This makes them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
5. Subtle, Natural Fragrance
The subtle, natural fragrance of beeswax candles is another reason they are favoured over other waxes. Unlike synthetic fragrances added to paraffin or soy candles, the scent of beeswax is derived from the nectar and honey stored within the honeycomb. This gentle, sweet aroma creates a soothing and inviting atmosphere without the need for artificial additives.
6. Eco-Friendly
In addition to being a natural and sustainable resource, beeswax candles are biodegradable. They do not contribute to landfill waste or release harmful chemicals when disposed of.
7. Support for Canadian Beekeepers
When you purchase beeswax candles from The Wicked Bee, you are supporting Canadian beekeepers and their crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Bees play a vital role in pollinating plants, which is essential for food production and biodiversity. All candles made at the Wicked Bee are sourced from 100% Canadian beeswax.
Each of these benefits makes beeswax candles a thoughtful, sustainable choice. From cleaner burning to a longer lifespan, they offer a range of advantages that contribute to a healthier (and cozier) home environment. At The Wicked Bee, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality, 100% pure beeswax candles, handcrafted with care in small batches Southwestern Ontario.
