Beeswax Pillars & Tapers

Beeswax candles are considered an air purifier since they increase the ratio of negative ions to positive ions in the environment, which is necessary to have clean air. Many air purifying systems use the power of negative ions, which attach themselves to positive ion particles – pollen, dust, dirt, mold and VOCs – causing them to fall to the ground. Beeswax releases negative ions in much the same way when heated. It has been reported that people with sinus problems, allergies and asthma find considerable relief using Beeswax candles.

Care:

Keep wick trimmed to 1/4 in. throughtout the candles' life.

All Pillars should be burned in a heat resistant container just wide enough to fit the candle and no larger. A wider container will allow the wax to spread out and go unburned, radically shortening the overall burn time.

Placing an 1/8” of water at the bottom of a votive glass will make wax cleanup and extrication much easier when a votive is done.

To remove wax, you can also freeze a votive holder or heat it in an oven at no more than 160 degrees and then wipe clean with a clean rag.

When the candle is towards the end of its life (1/2” left) let it burn till it goes out. This too will lengthen the overall burn time.
