Natural 100% Pure Beeswax Candle – Handmade in the UK

Each handmade beeswax candle is carefully crafted using a traditional technique that dates back centuries. Made from the wax of 12-18 day old bees, a single kilogram of wax requires 3.6 kilograms of honey. The wax is used by the bees to build the combs needed for rearing young bees and for storing bees and honey in them. In good conditions, a bee colony can produce 2-3 kg of wax during the season.

Beeswax is a solid, white through light yellow, orange to dark brown in colour. It is a mixture of about 15 chemical compounds, mainly esters, but also contains free acids, alcohols and hydrocarbons. There are also minerals, dyes and aromatics, and some bee putty. Wax is usually obtained from old wax, scraps that remain when the combs are unsticked, and other unusable pieces of plaster.

Apart from beekeeping, beeswax has been used in many valuable industries. The pharmaceutical industry uses wax for the production of ointments and patches, and the cosmetics industry for creams, lipsticks, and crayons. Many pharmacists believe that most plasters, ointments, and creams should be prepared with beeswax, as it is easily absorbed by the skin, giving it smoothness and delicacy. It even mechanically cleans teeth from plaque and strengthens the gums, helping with stomatitis, asthma, and hay fever.

When burned, beeswax candles release negative ions which help clean the air in a room. They burn smokeless and give off a delicate scent of honey, making them the healthiest and most environmentally-friendly option for candles. Burning beeswax candles can help alleviate problems of upper respiratory tract catarrh, lung diseases, asthma, and allergies. They can also help stabilize blood pressure, increase the body’s efficiency, and improve memory function. Additionally, the flame of a beeswax candle can cleanse spiritual spheres, cause the flow of good energy, and calm nerves, and emotions. Our beeswax candles are hand-rolled and made with 100% natural beeswax and braided cotton wick with no additives, ensuring a pure and natural burn. The size of the candle is 20cm x 13cm, and each candle has a burn time of approximately 16 hours.

Whether you are looking for a natural, non-toxic way to add ambience and fragrance to your home or workspace, or simply want to enjoy the many health benefits of beeswax candles, handmade beeswax candles are a perfect choice. Their unique scent, warm glow, and long burn time make them a truly luxurious and timeless addition to any space.
