Bee Sweet and Healthy, 100% Beeswax Candles

Secreting Wax

Melting Beeswax

Secreting Wax

Honey bees between 12 and 20 days old, develop wax-producing glands. These glands convert sugar from the honey into a waxy substance that they secrete in what looks like scales on the bee’s bottom side.

Secreting Wax

Honeybees can fly up to six miles at

15 miles per hour.  A hive of bees will fly 40,000 miles, more than once around the earth to collect 1 pound of honey. It takes 6 pounds of honey to make 1 pound of wax.

Melting Beeswax

Ever so slowly we melt the wax.

The aroma is out of this world.

It is said, "Bees transform the light from the sun into wax, and when a 100% beeswax candle burns, the flame releases the light." 

Molding It

Nature's Beauty

Melting Beeswax

We use silicon molds like the yellow one shown. It takes, on average, 3 hours for the candles to fully set up (harden) in the mold before we can remove them.

These are the result of a long day's work, two of us, for 19 hours, to be exact. These candles are still cooling - the darker the candle, the cooler the wax. The next day... we start again.

While burning a 100% beeswax candle, its golden flame glows with the same energy and spectrum of light as the sun. Soy and Paraffin candles DO NOT do this.

Relax And Enjoy The Clean Air

100% Beeswax Candles

100% Beeswax candles are the opposite, in every way, of Soy and Paraffin candles and Warmers, i.e.: Scentsy. 


IMPORTANT FACTS:

  • Non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, solvent-free.
  • Unaltered, renewable, biodegradable resource.
  • Natural sweet honey aroma, no added aromas that are, or will turn, toxic when exposed to the heat of the candle's flame.
  • Truly cleans the air via the candle the releasing negative ions when burned, which can effectively help eliminate or greatly reduce symptoms of asthma, allergies, and hay fever. 
  • Burns, on average, 3 - 6 times longer than soy or paraffin candles.
  • 100% organic cotton wick, no lead.
  • A 100% beeswax candle's hotter golden flame has proven to calm humans and animals.
  • Does not contain any additives, let alone hazardous ones such as naphtha or naphthalene.
  • Can stand on its own as a candle, allowing pillars, tappers, and ornamental shapes to be made.
  • Its high melting point allows it to be shipped in all weather conditions (it won't melt in the summer heat).


 HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A TRUE 100% BEESWAX CANDLE?

  • It must be labeled as 100% Beeswax. Not just beeswax or pure beeswax.
  • It will not burn well if containerized or put into a container.
  • A natural "bloom" or thin white film will form on the surface of the 100% Beeswax Candle, which can be polished off.

 

Soy Candles


IMPORTANT FACTS:

  • Soy products are commonly made from bleached and hydrogenated GMO soy plants. Purchase encourages continued use of GMOs, which are dangerous to our health and environment.
  • Soy wax candles often develop bumps and or lesions while burning.
  • Soy wax contains preservatives (so as not to go rancid), additives, and hardeners that turn toxic when exposed to the heat of the candle's flame.
  • Toxic pesticides used on soy crops are released when the candle is burned.


Paraffin Candles


IMPORTANT FACTS:

  • Paraffin is a by-product of waste from the bottom of the bucket of fossil fuels.
  • When burned, paraffin candles create highly toxic benzene and toluene, both known carcinogens; these, along with other known carcinogens and toxins - those found in diesel fuel fumes, are released to the equivalency of two chain smokers in the room with you. 
  • Create large amounts of black sticky soot that sticks to everything, inclusive to home décor and your lungs!
  • Paraffin is bleached and dyed with toxic colorants.

Please Note

Is Essential Oil Toxic?

Even the purest of essential oil, natural oils, and of course, ​man-made aromas will become toxic once heat hits them. And, yes, this does includes Young Living and doTERRA essential oils right on through to Scentsy and Glade products. 


We have spoken with both Young Living and doTERRA's company scientists and they stated their essential oils will turn toxic ​once heat hits them.  Mind you, if you diffuse oils to always use a cold steam diffuser.
