Simple, natural clean burning candles, made with tallow and beeswax. 

These 5 oz candles are made only with essential oils, absolutely NO Fragrance oils. Beeswax is the longest-burning candle base there is, and tallow melts easily, so this combination is both long-lasting and will liquify to the rim and burn down cleanly. If you have trouble with it not staying lit make sure it is well trimmed, to just above the burn line. Also, like many candles it burns down more evenly if burned for at least 1.5-2 hours at a time to allow the melt pool to reach the edges.

What are the natural benefits of burning tallow candles?
Burning tallow candles offers several natural benefits, including:
Sustainable Production: Tallow candles are made from a by-product of the meat industry, reducing waste and demand for new materials. 

Natural Alternative: Tallow candles are often considered a natural, non-toxic alternative to paraffin wax candles, which can release toxic fumes when burned. 

Health Benefits: Tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, which can provide nourishment and healing for the skin. 

Healing Traditions: Tallow candles have been used in folk medicine for their restorative properties, treating various skin conditions and promoting relaxation. 

Environmental Impact: Tallow candles contribute to a more circular economy by using renewable resources and reducing the demand for new, potentially harmful materials. 

These benefits make tallow candles a popular choice for those seeking a healthier and more sustainable lighting option. However, it is essential to choose high-quality tallow candles and burn them in well-ventilated areas to minimize any potential health risks.

What are the natural benefits of burning beeswax candles?
Burning beeswax candles offers several natural benefits, including:
Healthier Indoor Air Quality: Beeswax candles release negative ions that bind to airborne particles like dust, pollen, and mold, helping to purify the air, making them ideal for those with allergies or asthma. 

Non-toxic: Beeswax candles are completely natural and non-toxic, unlike paraffin candles, which release harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene. 

Longer Burn Time: Due to its higher melting point, beeswax burns slower than other types of wax, offering a longer-lasting candle, which is more cost-effective over time. 

No Soot Production: Beeswax candles burn cleanly and do not produce soot, preventing air pollution and keeping your walls and furniture clean. 

Natural Honey Scent: Beeswax emits a mild, sweet honey fragrance, which adds a calming ambiance without the need for added synthetic fragrances. 

Closest to Natural Sunlight: The bright, warm light from beeswax candles is closest in color to natural sunlight, reducing eye strain and creating a soothing environment. 

Environmentally Friendly: Beeswax is a renewable, biodegradable resource with minimal processing, making beeswax candles an eco-friendly option compared to paraffin and soy candles. 

Supports Beekeeping: Purchasing beeswax candles helps sustain beekeeping, which is crucial for the pollination of many crops and maintaining healthy ecosystems. 

Stress Relief: The negative ions released by beeswax candles are thought to reduce stress and improve mood, contributing to a more serene atmosphere. 

These benefits make beeswax candles a popular choice for those seeking a healthier and more sustainable lighting option for their homes.
