CANDLES
Q: What are the differences between Bees Wax and Soy Wax Candles?
Beeswax and soy wax are both popular choices for candles, but they have some key differences that make each unique:
Beeswax:
- Natural and Pure: Beeswax is 100% natural, made by honeybees, and contains no additives or synthetic ingredients.
- Air Purifying: Beeswax candles emit negative ions when burned, which can help neutralize pollutants like dust, odors, and mold, effectively purifying the air.
- Longer Burn Time: Beeswax has a higher melting point, which means it burns slower and lasts longer compared to other waxes.
- Brighter, Warmer Glow: Beeswax burns with a brighter, warmer, and more golden flame that closely resembles natural sunlight.
- Pleasant Natural Scent: Beeswax has a light, natural honey scent, which can be calming and soothing without the need for added fragrances.
- Non-Toxic: Beeswax is non-toxic and hypoallergenic, making it a safer choice for people with allergies or sensitivities.
Soy Wax:
- Vegan and Sustainable: Soy wax is made from soybeans, making it a plant-based, renewable resource. It's a great option for those who prefer vegan products.
- Clean Burning: Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin, producing less soot and fewer toxins, although it doesn’t purify the air like beeswax.
- Cost-Effective: Soy wax is generally less expensive than beeswax, making it a more budget-friendly option.
- Better Scent Throw: Soy wax has a lower melting point, which helps to release fragrance oils more effectively, making it ideal for scented candles.
- Smooth, Creamy Appearance: Soy wax has a smooth, creamy texture that creates an even burn, but it can be prone to "frosting," a natural white coating that can form on the candle.
Both waxes have their own special qualities, so the choice often depends on personal preferences for scent, burn characteristics, and environmental considerations.
