Everything You Need To Know About Beeswax Candles ? And More
Beeswax candles are made from all natural ingredients made by honeybees. When bees eat honey, they produce this wax. Beekeepers filter the beeswax from the honeycombs, cool it and sell it for use in making candles. Beeswax candles are the most natural candles that you can buy. They are available as taper candles, votives, tea lights and pillar candles.
For those with sensitive allergies, beeswax candles allow them to enjoy the warmth and beauty of a burning candle.
You don't need to add any scent to a bees wax candle because the wax is naturally scented with honey. Therefore beeswax candles rarely have any additives and this includes color. The natural yellow color adds to the ambiance of a bees wax taper candle and the scent of honey will perfume the air. Like soy candles, bees wax candles burn longer and cleaner than paraffin candles.
However, one of the disadvantages of using bees wax taper candles is that they cost more than soy or paraffin candles.
The wax used in making beeswax candles can vary from white to a light brown. In some cases, candle makers may add bleach to the wax to lighten the color of the bees wax. Candles that have been bleached may not have as much of a honey scent to them, but you won't be able to smell the scent of bleach. The bleach also helps to filter the beeswax.
A candle made from unfiltered bees wax may contain small bits of wood or even parts of the bees.
Over time, you may notice that there is a white powder on the outside of your beeswax candles. This does not mean that the bees wax candles are no longer any good. The development of this powder is a natural occurrence with beeswax taper candles and is called blooming. You can easily wipe the powder off of the beeswax candle.
It is actually a good thing for this to happen because it will tell you that your bees wax taper candles have been made from pure beeswax.
If you like making your own candles, beeswax candles are the easiest ones to make at home. Beeswax is sold in sheets and you don't have to bother with any additives, colors or candle scents. The bees wax that you buy is already filtered so you don't need to bother with bleaching it. All you have to do is melt down the bees wax and pour it into your molds to have the perfect beeswax candles.

Patchouli Candles ? Setting The Standard For Scented Candles
Patchouli candles help fill the room with the scent of the candles. Unlike other scented candles, you do not have to be seated next to the candle to enjoy the scent or only get a whiff of it after you blow out the flame. The scent of cloves, gingerbread or other homemade baked goods from Patchouli candles really enhances the atmosphere of a kitchen. You can also have a sweet earthy fragrance in Patchouli candles, which even males enjoy having around them.
The main fragrance of Patchouli candles comes from the essential oil of the Patchouli plant.
This plant is native to Asia and has a powerful mossy, musty fragrance. A Patchouli candle also combines the scents of other essential oils, so that you have a wide variety of fragrances to choose from. For example, clove and Patchouli Yankee candles help every room of the house to have a scent that all will enjoy. In addition, these Yankee candles are therapeutic in the aromatherapy of the essential oils.
