Do beeswax candles really clean the air?

When beeswax candles burn, they clean the air like a great, natural, air purifier. Just like lightening, beeswax produces negative ions when burned. These negative ions attach to positive ions (like dust, pollen, mold, odor, toxins) floating in the air and in this process cleans the air.

What are beeswax candles good for?

Types of Beeswax Candle Health Benefits

Neutralizing Pollutants: Beeswax candles produce negative ions when burned, and those ions help to neutralize pollutants in the air. This helps eliminate dust, odors, and mold in the atmosphere, easing allergy and asthma symptoms and improving breathing for anyone nearby.

Are beeswax candles worth it?

Why are beeswax candles so expensive?

First, there's the quality of the wax. Beeswax is the priciest, according to Christine Flores of the Beeswax Co., and runs 10 times more than the usual paraffin. Beeswax costs more due to the mind-boggling fact that it takes about 8 pounds of honey to net 1 pound of beeswax. Then there's a candle's scent.

Why do beeswax candles not drip?

Beeswax comes that way naturally and no artificial additives or scent can replicate that. You will find that a pure beeswax candle burned in an environment without drafts and properly trimmed won't drip. ... Honey Candles® beeswax candles have no additives and they burn a very long time naturally.

Which is better beeswax or soy candles?
