Beeswax Candle Making
Beeswax candles emit ions to cleanse and improve air quality, reduce allergens, and enable deeper sleep patterns. The natural aroma from honey and flower nectar along with the essential oil offers stress relief. Beeswax burns longer and brighter with less drip, leaves no residue, and contains zero carcinogens. Using beeswax instead of paraffin is a healthy option and helps preserve the bee population.
How to make beeswax candles:
-Melt beeswax in a double boiler
-Add a drop of essential oil
-Pour into a candle-safe container with wick
-Let set for 1 hour
-Light & enjoy the benefits
Pro-tip: Best essential oils to use are eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, or tea tree.
