Beeswax candles are adored for their gorgeous natural look and smell, but there are numerous reasons why they are the preferred candle of choice. You might question if it really matters what type of candle you burn, but you may find the benefits of beautiful beeswax candles rather compelling.

Beeswax candles are very special and have been valued for hundreds of years. Below we have summarised some of the top reasons we make these beauties for you!

Pure beeswax is a renewable source.
ION Living’s beeswax candles are 100% natural and made with pure Australian Beeswax. They are naturally chemical, paraben and paraffin-free.

Beeswax candles improve indoor air quality. These candles release negative ions. These negative ions have the effect of neutralising pollutants in the air, most of which are high in positively charged particles, thus making them harmless. It is nature’s air purifier.

Have you ever wondered why you felt so good after walking in the forest, swimming in the ocean, or breathing in the fresh air after a thunderstorm? That is because negative ions are abundant in nature. Negative ions neutralise free radicals, revitalise cell metabolism and enhance immune function. When you burn a beeswax candle, it releases negative ions. Some people said they slept much better after burning their beeswax candle in their bedroom (never leave a candle unattended!). The power of nature is just incredible!

Beeswax candles are known for being hypo-allergenic. Cleaner burning is one of the significant health benefits of beeswax candles as they do not produce toxic smoke and cleanse your air. Numerous reports suggest that beeswax candles improve asthma and allergy symptoms. You will not contribute to any air pollution by burning beeswax - quite the opposite.

Only honeybees make beeswax, and we are dependent on their natural cycle of producing honey. The beekeeper can only obtain a small amount of beeswax from each hive, so it is a precious commodity with a limited supply. It is a rarity to see beeswax candles at a reduced price because they are scarce and a valuable source of nature. Have you ever wondered why soy wax candles are everywhere, but beeswax candles are hard to obtain.

We care about our planet and love to minimise our impact. Beeswax is the least processed natural candle that is also 100% biodegradable. Other waxes such as soy and palm are linked to deforestation and can be filled with potentially harmful chemicals that release into the air as the candle burns. Beeswax is entirely environmentally friendly and has no synthetic ingredients.

Beeswax has the highest melting point of any wax, meaning the candles burn for longer. Not just hours, but for days on end. They burn brighter with a beautiful warm glow. They emit a natural light of the same light spectrum as the sun. This helps create the perfect ambience for dining or a quiet moment of meditation, reading or while you’re in the bath!

Beeswax candles have a gorgeous natural honey and floral scent that makes them ideal for a dinner setting as they don’t emit a strong scent or a synthetic fragrance that would compete with the smell of food.

Beeswax Candles don’t cause any harm to your pets! Many scented candles with synthetic fragrances irritate cats and dogs as they release toxins into the air, inhaled by pets and humans! Small animals are more sensitive in general to these toxins. Furthermore, ION Living only uses 100% natural wood wicks.
