Beautiful Beeswax Candles
Beeswax is often referred to as the 'Queen of Waxes' for it's exceptional burning qualities and of course being completely natural and chemical free. Pure beeswax candles are also natural air purifiers and their negative ion effect can improve our mood, energy and health. They can be beneficial to those with environmental allergies and fragrance sensitivities. At The Candle Tree we are proud stockists Nature’s Beeswax Cornwall, using Cornish beeswax they create naturally beautiful products, such as candles and skincare. Based in beautiful Mevagissey, Nature’s Beeswax Cornwall was developed by an Environmental Scientist and qualified aromatherapist with a deep interest in ecology, sustainability and our interaction with our local environment. Natural, ethically resourced beeswax not only promotes personal health and wellbeing but also that of our environment too. Their beautiful Beeswax candles are all handmade in the UK using only 100% natural ingredients and of course these products are also environmentally aware and are not packaged in plastic.
Natural beeswax is an extraordinary material to work with. It naturally occurs in different colours - ranging from creamy white, through to pink, orange, bright yellow and dark brown depending on the flowers the bees have been foraging and, to some extent, how the beekeeper has handled the wax. It is also beautifully translucent. Being a natural product, it is a little different to work with every day. Beeswax candles will always have a superior burn to a paraffin, soy or palm wax candle because beeswax has the highest melting point of any wax known to mankind and therefore when a beeswax candle is properly made it will not drip everywhere or drown its wick. A beeswax candle will also have more golden flame than a paraffin, soy or palm wax candle (because the wax is not bleached with chemicals). When burned correctly your beeswax candle will not smoke or drip, and the wicks, will not disintegrate or drown in their own wax. A beeswax candle is also said to be a natural ioniser when it is burning, purifying your air of dust, pollen, odours, toxins, mould and mildew whilst leaving a light, natural floral honey scent.
Beeswax is a Natural Ioniser
Beeswax candles burn smoke free and purify the air when burned, as Beeswax is a natural ioniser - emitting negative ions when burned. Other natural ionisers include moving water (oceans, waterfalls, rain etc) and plants. Short of setting up a waterfall or rainforest in your living room, or buying an expensive electric ioniser, burning beeswax candles is the simplest and most effective and natural way of purifying the air that you breathe. It has been scientifically proven that the only fuel known to mankind to produce a balanced negative ion is pure beeswax, all care of Mother Nature. Also, what is even more astonishing is that a pure beeswax candle burns the dust and toxic fumes drawing them closer to the candle through the force of convection - you will notice that the dustier your environment, the darker the pool of wax around the wick of your candle. Scientists have proven that anything floating in the air, does so because it is 'positively charged' - this includes dusts, pollens, nasty odours, viruses, bacteria, germs and even toxic residues and emissions from household furnishings. Odours remain because they have a positive charge. All of these toxins present a potential health risk as they live in the air you breathe. Beeswax, when burned, emits negative ions which bind with the positive ions, creating a complete molecule, which is heavier than air and thus falls to the ground. By burning 100% pure beeswax candles a few times a week, and vacuuming a couple of times a week, your home will be cleaner, smell sweeter and the air you breathe will be healthier.
