Using beeswax over paraffin wax in candles offers several benefits:
1. Clean Burning: Beeswax candles burn cleaner and produce less soot compared to paraffin candles, which can stain walls and surfaces with black residue.
2. Air Purification: Beeswax releases negative ions when burned, which can help purify the air by reducing pollutants and allergens, improving indoor air quality.
3. Longer Burn Time: Beeswax has a higher melting point than paraffin, resulting in a longer and more efficient burn time.
4. Brighter Light: Beeswax candles emit a brighter, more pleasant light similar to sunlight, which is aesthetically pleasing and can enhance ambiance.
5. Non-Toxic and Hypoallergenic: Beeswax is non-toxic and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people with allergies or sensitivities, unlike paraffin which can contain harmful chemicals.
6. Renewable Resource: Beeswax is a natural, renewable resource produced by bees, whereas paraffin is derived from non-renewable petroleum sources.
7. Environmental Benefits: Beeswax candles are biodegradable and require minimal processing, making them a more environmentally friendly choice compared to paraffin candles.
