100% Organic Beeswax
Beeswax has been used since the beginning of civilization. It has been found in the pharaohs tombs, sunken viking ships and Roman ruins. Beeswax is basically the duct tape of old, with thousands of uses and being virtually indespensable. Beeswax does not go bad and has been recovered from ancient ship wrecks heated up and is still usable. Over time beeswaxs gets what is called bloom, which is a light powder on its surface, it is not mold. This usually happens when stored at cooler temperatures. A blow drier removes the bloom or just a soft rag to buff the bloom off. Beeswax can now be used for a multitude of purposes. Beeswax is used in soap making, candle making, making of cosmetics, lip balms, water proofing leather and wood as in boat building and polishing.
Candles & Wax
BEESWAX CANDLES
Beeswax is made of honeybees and is very different, all natural, non-toxic, non-polluting, non-allergenic and with a delicious naturally honey-sweet aroma which is given off as it burns. Beeswax candles burn brighter, longer, and cleaner than any other candle. The flame emits essentially the same light spectrum as the sun. Beeswax produces negative ions that are known to clean your air of odors, pollens, smoke, dust, dust mites, viruses and other allergens and hazards - the only known fuel to do so and invigorate the body. Beeswax candles leave your air fresher and cleaner - they are a true air purifier. They are the only candle for anyone with chemical sensitivities or allergies. Increasing negative ions in the air improves mood and sense of wellbeing.
With increased negative ions, studies show:
· Improved air quality
· Improved sleep
· Enhanced immune system
· Relief from hay fever & allergies
OTHER CANDLESMost commercial candles are made of poisonous chemicals.Paraffin is a petroleum industry waste that is bleached and mixed with other poisonous chemicals to form a wax. Often candles are highly scented with artificial, synthetic oils and marketed to "freshen" our precious air.They don't actually freshen or deodorize anything, they just mask smells with chemicals stronger and dangerous to our health."Aromatherapy" candles may be some of the worst, and marketing takes advantage us using nice names like "harmony", "rejuvenation" and "bliss". Some companies use good quality essential oils and focus our attention on that fact, but they are in a paraffin candle.Paraffin candles are known to release carcinogens like benzene and toluene. When burned, they release toxins and black soot as harmful to our health as second-hand tobacco smoke. Vegetable waxes such as soy and palm is a great improvement over chemical candles in all terms, but as an aesthetic matter, they burn at a very low temperature and give off a cold light. Also, though quite clean-burning, they do not possess the same magical qualities as beeswax.Australia Only
