The Buzz About Beeswax: Why Bee Coco Candle is the Natural Choice

Noreen Francis

There's a lot of buzz around bees these days—and for good reason. From their crucial role in pollination to their ability to produce one of nature's most sustainable and beneficial materials, bees truly are tiny powerhouses. At Bee Coco Candle, we're proud to harness the natural power of bees to bring you high-quality, hand-poured beeswax candles and balms that are as good for you as they are for the planet.

What Makes Bee Coco Candle Special?

At Bee Coco Candle, we believe in keeping things pure and simple. Our products are crafted using 100% natural beeswax sourced from local bees in Kane County, IL. We hand-pour a variety of unscented beeswax products including:

  • Beeswax lip balms
  • Beeswax hand balm

We’ve also partnered with an amazing hand-dipped beeswax candle company in Montrose, CO to expand our collection. Together, we offer beautifully crafted:

  • Beeswax votives
  • Tapers
  • Pillars
  • 3-wick beeswax jar candles

The Natural Health Benefits of Beeswax Candles

Clean Burning, Non-Toxic Air

Unlike paraffin candles that release harmful toxins, beeswax candles burn cleanly. Made from the caps of bee honeycombs, they emit little to no smoke and give off a natural, honey-like fragrance as they burn.

Purify Your Air with Negative Ions

One of the lesser-known but powerful health benefits of beeswax candles is their ability to release negative ions into the air. These ions bind to dust, mold, and other allergens, helping to purify your indoor space naturally.

Allergy-Friendly and Asthma-Safe

Beeswax is non-allergenic, making it an excellent choice for people with asthma, hay fever, or other sensitivities. In fact, burning a beeswax candle may actually help reduce symptoms by cleansing the air.

Why Choose Beeswax Over Other Candle Waxes?

Sustainability Matters

Beeswax is a sustainable and renewable resource, unlike paraffin, which is derived from petroleum. When you choose beeswax, you're supporting eco-conscious practices and healthier living.

Long-Lasting Value

Though beeswax candles may come with a higher price tag than soy or paraffin, they burn up to three times longer. This means more glow, more ambiance, and more value over time.

Know What You're Buying

Look for the 100% beeswax label when shopping for candles. Ivory-colored beeswax candles may have less scent and could be blended with other waxes. Be cautious of "blended beeswax" labels—they often include paraffin.
