100% Pure British Beeswax: Sourced exclusively from the UK, our beeswax is completely natural, ensuring the highest quality for a clean and sustainable burn.
Key Benefits of Beeswax Candles:
Natural Air Purifier: Beeswax candles produce negative ions that help neutralize pollutants in the air.
Longer Burning: They burn slower than other wax candles, providing hours of natural light.
Soot Free: Virtually smokeless when kept away from drafts, ensuring a clean burn.
Subtle Honey Scent: Naturally scented by the beeswax, it's gentle and not overpowering.
Non-toxic: A safe option for families and pets, free from synthetic fragrances and harmful chemicals.
Hypoallergenic: Great for those with allergies or sensitivities to artificial scents.
Sustainable: Sourced from renewable resources, supporting local beekeeping practices.
Dripless: When burned in a draft-free environment, beeswax candles are less likely to drip.
Bright Light: Beeswax candles emit a bright, warm-toned light that's comforting to the eyes.
Eco-Friendly: Biodegradable and eco-conscious, with minimal environmental impact.
These beeswax candles are not just a source of light but a contribution to a healthier, more sustainable way of living.
First Burn:
For the inaugural lighting, ensure the candle burns long enough to melt the wax across the entire surface to the edge. This should take approximately 2-3 hours, preventing tunneling and setting the stage for an even burn in the future.
Avoiding Drafts:
Place your candle in a location free from drafts and moving air, such as open windows, fans, or air conditioning vents. Drafts can cause uneven burning, dripping, or smoking.
Relighting Your Candle:
When relighting the candle, hold the flame to the wick for a few seconds to allow the wax to melt and be absorbed by the wick. This will ensure a stronger flame and a more efficient burn.
Wick Trimming:
Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch. This encourages a clean burn and prevents the flame from becoming too large.
Candle Hugging:
As the candle burns, gently 'hug' the sides by pushing the soft wax towards the flame. This technique utilizes more of the beeswax, prolonging the life of the candle and maintaining its aesthetic.
Additional Tips:
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
To extinguish the flame, use a snuffer instead of blowing it out to prevent wax from splattering.
Allow the candle to cool completely before handling or moving it.
By following these use and care instructions, you will enhance the longevity of your beeswax candle and enjoy the maximum benefits of its natural, soothing properties.
