When we’re in the mood for a quiet night in, there’s nothing better than lighting a beeswax candle, pouring a glass of wine, and putting on a favorite movie. Why a beeswax candle, you might ask? Because they’re the best choice for you and the planet. If you’re not familiar with their benefits, keep reading and you might just be convinced to switch.

To explain what we mean, we need to get a little scientific, but bear with us. When you light a beeswax candle, it releases negative ions into the air. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that have gained an extra electron. These ions are attracted to and bind with positively charged particles in the air, causing them to become heavier and fall to the ground. Negative ions are abundant in nature, like near waterfalls, forests, or beaches, but are almost non-existent indoors.

The negative ions produced by burning beeswax candles have potential benefits for air quality and mood. They are believed to help neutralize and reduce airborne pollutants such as dust, mold spores, pollen, and certain odors, improving respiratory health for some. What’s more, when we breathe in negative ions, they increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.

Beeswax candles also offer environmental benefits. They support the beekeeping industry and help promote the well-being of bees. Bees play a vital role in pollination, which is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems. They are environmentally friendly and non-toxic when lit compared to soy and paraffin candles. They produce clean fumes with little smoke due to their non-oil-based ingredient. 100% beeswax candles do not use chemicals in their production and are completely biodegradable. 

So make the switch – beeswax candles allow you to enjoy the warm, gentle glow of candlelight while minimizing your environmental impact and promoting a healthier, more sustainable world.
