About Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the ancient practice of using natural plant essences to promote
health and well-being. It utilizes pure essential oils, which are naturally extracted from
a wide variety of plants.
Beeswax is known for its healthful properties as well, being an anti-bacterial agent
and releasing negative ions, which purify and cleanse the air.
Many companies claiming to produce aromatherapy candles use synthetic
fragrances and/or paraffin wax, which is a petroleum by-product. These ingredients
emit harmful toxins as they burn and contradict the true essence of aromatherapy.
The union of pure essential oils and beeswax is the clear, healthy choice for the
mind, body, and soul.
The finest essential oils are carefully blended, combined with the purest beeswax,
and hand poured to create great smelling, long burning, all natural candles.

Good Things to Know About Beeswax
Wicks
All of the candles we sell have wicks made of natural fibers. The wicks are primed
with beeswax, not paraffin, which many candle companies, even beeswax candle
companies use. For several years now, it has been illegal in the US to manufacture
candles with lead wicks. If you purchase candles that have been made in the US, you
are most likely safe from lead. It is always a good idea to know not only what wax you
are burning, but what wicks you are burning as well.
Color
Beeswax gets is wonderful natural color and honey-like fragrance from the pollen and
nectar of the flowers the bees are pollinating. The natural color of beeswax will vary
greatly depending on the type of flower pollinated. Sometimes it can be dark brown,
sometimes bright yellow, sometimes very pale yellow. Our suppliers are always trying
to keep their products consistent in color, but variations are inevitable due to the
nature of the bees. These natural beeswax candles are filtered via natural clay
process that cleans the wax of impurities, yet allows the wax to retain its inherent
color and aroma.
Organic Beeswax?
The bulk of our suppliers wax is collected from beekeepers in the Pacific Northwest
including BC. The crops in this region are the lowest in pesticide use around. Beware
of beeswax coming from China, and other foreign countries, as the pesticide use in
those regions is very high. If you are specifically looking to burn certified organic
beeswax, be prepared to pay handsomely. Because it is so very expensive, it us
mostly use in the food and cosmetic industry.
Bloom
Bloom is the dust-like substance that appears on the surface of beeswax. It is your
assurance that the wax is pure. Bloom is actually the sugar in the wax that has
surfaced. Most often, bloom occurs when the wax has been exposed to significant
temperature change, warm to cold. Most people enjoy the look of bloom, but if you
would like to remove it, simply wipe off with a soft cloth. Another trick is to warm the
wax with a hair dryer.
Removing Wax
Since beeswax contracts in cold temperatures, our favorite method of removing
leftover wax from a container is to stick it into the freezer. After it has had a chance to
cool, use a butter knife to carefully pop out the wax. Another technique is to warm
container in oven on low heat just until the wax begins to melt, then pour out and
wipe off residue with paper towel. Use care, as container can get very hot from oven.

How do I choose the right meditation candle?
Different types of candles are designed for different purposes, and it's worth
considering your needs and habits before purchasing.
Beeswax candles burn longer and melt more slowly than paraffin. Therefore, a
beeswax candle will need to be burned longer than a comparably-sized paraffin
candle to burn well.
The General Rule: a candle should be burned long enough each time it is lit that
the wax pool melts to near the candle's edge.

Why Burn Beeswax?
Beeswax candles have been the choice of candle connoisseurs throughout the ages.
They are a gift from nature that embodies a simple and healthy state of being.
Beeswax is 100% natural and a renewable resource that actually cleans the air by
emitting purifying negative ions.
Most candles are made with paraffin, a petroleum by-product, which is not natural
and is unhealthy to burn. To prepare it for candle making, it is chemically bleached
and hardened, then artificially scented. Burning paraffin emits harmful, black soot
and pollutes the air.
Currently, there are no regulations in the U.S. on disclosing ingredients on candle
labels. You may find candles labeled "beeswax" that are made with paraffin, or other
candle waxes, and contain as little as 1% beeswax. We are very proud to say that all
the candles we offer are 100% beeswax.
Beeswax, the purest of all candle waxes, is a product of the sustainable industry of
beekeeping. The simple filtration of beeswax is a natural process that uses no
chemicals and very little energy.
Beeswax is naturally aromatic, infused with the sweet, subtle scent of honey. Being
nontoxic and non-allergenic, beeswax candles burn clean and soot free. While
burning, they release negative ions, just as seashores or rainstorms do. These
negative ions improve air quality by eliminating pollutants and allergens from the air
that we breathe.
The high melting and burning temperature of beeswax translates into exceptionally
long burn times. While burning, their golden flames glow with the same energy and
spectrum of light as the sun.
Beeswax candles are the ultimate in beauty and luxury. They are the natural choice
for people who care about their health and the health of the environment.
