About Beeswax 4h Table Candle
These all-natural candles are crafted from 100% beeswax. At 19cm long they burn for around 4hrs, producing a warm bright light while ionising and purifying the air. Beeswax has no scent on its own, however, it picks up a mild scent from storing honey and pollen in the hive. This means that the candle produces very mild honey and floral scent, which can vary from batch to batch. This is also true of the colour, which may vary.
Going back in history, beeswax was the preferred candle type by royalty, nobility, and the church because of its pleasant aroma and beautiful light. The argument could be made that it is still the preferred candle type, at least for those with information to base their decision. The good news is that beeswax candles are no longer out of reach for most consumers. Beeswax candles are the cleanest, brightest, and longest burning. Here are how those properties translate into a great candle.
Beeswax candles do not require chemical processing. Beeswax is one of the densest waxes and has a high melting point. This means that beeswax doesn?t need any hardeners, additives, or chemical treatments to make a quality product. Candle-making process is simple and environmentally friendly. First, beeswax is sourced straight from the hive. Then it is melted down and cleaned out any particulate- beeswax must be free of impurities to burn properly. Once beeswax is clarified, it?s ready to be poured. The Edinburgh Honey candles are finished by burnishing each by hand. That?s it!
Unlike many other candles, burning beeswax actually purifies the air. Beeswax candles emit negative ions which bind with particulate matter in the air, causing the floating particles in the air to drop to the ground. Some say negative ions also stimulate the pituitary gland, thus increasing creativity, intuition, and dream activity. Because of their air cleansing properties, beeswax candles are a great candle option for people with allergies, asthma, sinuses, and sensitivities.
