Beeswax Candle - The Top 6 Common Questions
Saturday, March 6th, 2010Got questions about beeswax candles? Here is my listing of the top six frequently asked questions on beeswax candles.
What is the main difference between a beeswax candle and a typical paraffin wax candle?
Paraffin candles are made from a toxic petroleum based wax. When these candles are burned they’ll leave a residue which could blacken walls as well as ceilings. Beeswax candles may be non- noxious. When burned, they give off negative ions, which usually attach to fibres and things that trigger allergies in the surroundings, making them bulkier so they’ll fall to the floor to be cleared as well as vacuumed away.
What does in mean when a beeswax candle is labeled as “All Natural” or “Raw”?
These terms refer to the processes that the candle wax has undergone. Beeswax candles that are labeled as raw, or pure have not been filtered, dyed, or bleached.
Why do beeswax candles from time to time form a whitish “bloom” on their top?
After a while, the softer oils found in beeswax candles will rise towards surface. Those oils build a light colored “bloom”. This bloom can be a excellent sign that your candle is made using 100% pure beeswax. If wanted the bloom can be effortlessly eradicated through warming it by using a hair dryer.
How can I keep my beeswax candle burning as it should be?
The length of your wick in a beeswax candle is very important. Keep your wick trimmed to no longer than 1/4 of an inch. When the wick is longer than 1/4 of an inch the flame may be too far away from your wax for your candle to burn properly.
Where can I obtain high quality beeswax candles?
A few regional specialty shops offer a minor selection of beeswax candles, on the other hand, there are many online resources that offer a wide selection of beeswax candles to choose from. Ordering through an established company online could allow you to learn exactly the place the candle comes from, and the procedures which went into making it.
