In the world of candles, beeswax candles are top of the line. They are also the most expensive candles for very good reason. In addition, beeswax candles are also some of the cleanest candle varieties.
Beeswax candles compete in the market against three different competitors, namely, soy wax candles, gel candles, and paraffin candles.
The competitors are generally less expensive and also of lower quality.
Beeswax candles are made from wax collected from bee hives by commercial bee farmers. This beeswax is processed and purified to prepare it for the process of beeswax candle making. The purification process includes heating the wax in hot water.
Beeswax candles come in many different shapes and forms and they also come in scented and unscented varieties.
One of the reasons why beeswax candles are considered top-of-the-line is their burning characteristics. These candles burn with warmer flames and emit a more prominent yellow color than some other varieties of candles.
With beeswax candles there is very little wax dripping.
This characteristic makes these candles very desirable for use in religious services. Some religious institutions like the Catholic Church make heavy use of candles during their services. It would make a real mess if those candles were dripping a lot of wax.
To avoid that problem they mainly make use of beeswax candles that do not drip wax.
Another advantage of beeswax candles is that they produce very little smoke. In other words, they are very clean burning candles.
This characteristic makes them desirable candles to burn with children in the home and also generally to protect your family's respiratory systems.
These candles do not produce the petroleum smell and that you often get with paraffin candles and they do not produce the soot that can leave dark spots against your walls or on your ceiling.
Even though the beeswax candles are more expensive due to the labor involved during the farming process, their benefits make them worth the additional expense.
