BEESWAX FACTS
Pure Beeswax Candles are all natural, non-toxic, non-polluting, non-sooting and long burning with a delicious honey-sweet aroma.
Saddly the addition of some chemical dyes and scents may cause them to become toxic.
Beeswax Candles produce negative ions that actually clean the air of odors, pollens, smoke, dust mites, viruses and other allergens and hazards, and is the only all natural product to do so.
Studies have shown that increased negative ions as well as improving the air quality,can improve both your mood and sense of well-being.
Over time beeswax will naturally go through a process called blooming. This produces a whitish film on the surface of the wax.
This bloom can easily be wiped off, and is a good indication that your wax is pure.
Our products include beeswax figurine candles, beeswax votive candles, hand molded candles, taper candles, beeswax candles, carved candles,
pillar candles, votive candles, floating candles, emergency candles and handmade candles.

PARAFIN WAX
Paraffin is petroleum industry waste that is bleached (adding dioxin and other poisonous chemicals)and texturized with acrolyn.
Stearic acid, a byproduct of the meatpacking industry is added as a hardener.
Aromatherapy candles may be some of the worst as they don't actually freshen or deodorize; they just mask smells with strong and dangerous chemicals.
Paraffin candles are known to release carcinogens like benzene and toluene. When burned they spew toxins and black soot as harmful to our health as second hand tobacco smoke.
Just try breathing directly over a lit paraffin candle and you will know immediately how noxious it is.

BEWARE
A candle may be labeled "beeswax" if it contains as little as 10% beeswax - the balance is most likely paraffin.
Also be suspicious of any labels simply stating "natural". If the label does not say "100% Pure" or Pure Beeswax"
it almost certainly is not.
