Why Choose Honey Candles®?
We are Bee Friendly: This symbol represents our commitment to sourcing our wax from ethical beekeepers. Our wax comes from organically managed hives in the Peace River Region of Northern Alberta. Our beekeepers truly love their bees! Read More
Honey Candles® are Eco-Friendly: Unlike soy and paraffin waxes, beeswax is used essentially in its native state. There is no bleaching or hydrogenating and does not require large amounts of agricultural land. Beeswax the purest of all waxes (including vegetable waxes such as soy) with the least processing and no additives.
Our candles have a beautiful warm amber glow: There is nothing quite like the warm amber glow of a 100% pure beeswax candle. In fact, based on the light spectrum, light emitted from a beeswax candle is the closest to sunlight. Studies have shown that burning beeswax stimulates the pituitary gland, increasing intuition, creativity and heightening dream activity. Some say burning a beeswax candle before bed helps them achieve a more restful sleep.
Beeswax Candles are Air purifying: Beeswax candles have long been known for their air purifying effects and can greatly reduce dust and other allergens in your home. Burning 100% pure beeswax candles can help improve indoor air quality by producing negative ions.
Long burning: Beeswax naturally burns up to three times longer than paraffin. Many other candle waxes have additives to produce longer burn times. Our candles cost only pennies an hour to burn.
Clean Burning: Beeswax candles are non-allergenic and recommended by the American Lung Association. Beeswax is best for those with allergies or sensitivities to scents. Recent studies have shown paraffin candles, especially scented ones, can increase indoor air pollution.
Sweet Honey Aroma: The sweet honey aroma of beeswax candles fills the air without added fragrances or other dangerous toxins.
Virtually Dripless: When trimmed correctly, Beeswax candles are virtually dripless when burned in a draft-free environment.
Quality: Beeswax candles are known as the 'Cadillac of Candles.' However, not all beeswax candles are made equally. Our candles are handmade. They are high quality with a depth to the finish many other beeswax candles lack, the candles are smooth with no flakes, cracks or white spots.
Natural: Unlike soy and paraffin waxes, beeswax is used essentially in its native state. There is no bleaching or hydrogenating. Filtering is the only processing beeswax goes through. Beeswax does not go rancid, has a long shelf life and no additives.
