10 Reasons You Should Switch to Beeswax Candles (#8 is Wow!)

"These beeswax candles are so costly compared with regular candles, any reason why I should use them apart from their natural aesthetic value?" Like most of you, I have popped this question when I noticed that these candles have a much bigger price tag compared to those at Ikea.

If you are currently burning candles at home and price is not always the the number one reason for these stuff, there are many good reasons for you why candles made of beeswax are so much more superior and why you should switch to these candles.

Beeswax Candles Versus Paraffin Candles

Beeswax Candles
Paraffin Candles
6. Burn stronger and brighter. Emit naturally bright light of the same light spectrum as the sun (Green Rhino Spectrum, Solar Spectrum). They are a gift from nature!
Synthetic waxes do not bloom as time passes.
Are to be avoided by those with allergies or asthma conditions.
10. Originate from a renewable fuel - beeswax.
Originate from a non-renewable resource - petroleum.

All the pictures of the candles you see in this video (left) are made of pure beeswax. I fell in love with these candles after discovering that their performance beats the paraffin candles hands down. And I also have to agree with what I have found in my research - that these lovely candles do burn more brilliantly, cleaner and longer! So, stop burning petroleum and polluting your home. Turn to beeswax. It will make a difference in your home ambience and the quality of life of those who love candles.

Hang on, what about soy candles? Don't they make a healthy choice as well? Like paraffin wax, soy candles have a lower meting point and hence do not burn as strong and bright as beeswax candles. But the biggest drawback of soy candles is that they will spoil without preservatives. Additives, bleach and hardeners are common ingredients of soy candles. Also, soy candles are mostly made from genetically modified soy crops that are heavily sprayed with toxic pesticides.

Wind down, light some therapeutic beeswax candles, curl up in the sofa with a cup of hot tea and let the stress of the day melt away.

To your excellent health,
Ruth Tan
