Candles and Candle Making

The Finest Quality You Can Buy With Beeswax Candles

There are some very good reasons for Beeswax Candles manufacturers to use beeswax as a the primary matter. Though there are other variants such as Soy Wax or chemical products used in Candle Production it is common-knowledge that beeswax candles are top quality. The explanation is very simple. Beeswax is clean and one hundred percent organic when it is collected from bee hives. Technological processes have it ever more purified and then turned into first hand material to be used for the best candles on markets all over the world.

Beeswax candles in the religious service

There is a lot of candle burning in all religious services, and if poor-quality candles would be used, then there’ll be quite a mess from wax dripping. Fortunately, this is not the case with beeswax candles, there is very little dripping or none at all. There is another great advantage to the use of clean beeswax, it makes very little smoke, thus eliminating the risk of dark smoke spots in the room, and allowing air in to remain fresh. Some Christian institutions make beeswax a must for the candles they use.

For instance, the Eastern Christian Orthodox church uses only beeswax candles during their religious services, and The Catholic Church follows the same example during Liturgy. Furthermore, beeswax is the essential ingredient for the traditional Paschal candles also known as the Easter Candle. For such an important celebration, poor quality is unacceptable.

Many producers try to get to a production compromise, they use a combination of beeswax and chemicals to reduce the costs of candle making. Unfortunately, products lose their top features under such circumstances.

How to choose beeswax candles
Beeswax is a used in the compositions of many scented candles; there’s no dark smoke, dripping or bad smell. However, beeswax candles are not a must for daily use. It is important however, that the candles you buy contain a specific percent of beeswax. It may not prevail, but at least it improves the burning quality of the products.

Beeswax candles are considered the most ecological variant of candles existent on the market. There may be jelly-like candles that look and smell great, but remember they change the structure of the air you and maybe your family breathe; whereas, Clear Beeswax can bring no harm. That’s why it is so important to read on the package before purchasing anything, check for the beeswax content of the candles you want to buy.

Beeswax 16 oz: 1 lb: K $21.6 This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Beeswax is used for making beauty creams and soaps. Beeswax crafts include candle making, beeswax modeling, making crayons, encaustic art (melting crayons onto an iron and then ‘painting’ it onto paper), and furniture polish. Sleeping Beauty Cream: This recipe comes from Janice Cox’s book ‘Natural Beauty for All Seasons.’ 1 tablespoon grated beeswax 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil ¼ cup light sesame oil ¼ cup orange flower water Pinch of borax powder Mix together the beeswax, vitamin E oil, and sesame oil. Heat gently until the beeswax is melted. Combine the orange flower water and borax powder, and heat until very warm. Pour the warm water into the oil mixture and stir well. Continue to stir, or pour the whole mixture into and electric blender and blend for 1 minute. Pour the cream into a clean container and allow it to cool completely. Store in a cool, dry place. Apply the cream before you go to bed. Herbal Skin Cream: http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/5316/beauty.html: ¾ ounce beeswax shaving 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup water (or rose water) 24 drops (¼ teaspoon) rose geranium essential oil or 6 drops rose essential oil. Heat the beeswax and oil in a pot unti lthe beeswax melts. Remove from heat, and add essential oils. In a separate pot, heat the water until it’s warm to the touch. Remove the center ring on the lid of your blender or food processor and pour in the warm water. With the blender on high speed, slowly add the oil-beeswax mixture until it begins to solidify (this should happen once three-quarters of it has been added to the water). As this happens, continue adding the oil-beeswax mixture to the water, stirring in the top edges as they turn solid. Keep adding the oil and beeswax to the water until the mixture can’t absorb any more. Turn off the blender, and, using a rubber spatula, pour the cream into wide-mouthed jars while it’s warm and can be poured (pimento jars are ideal). One caveat: Substances that contain water invite bacterial growth. However, essential oils and beeswax (and vitamin E) are natural preservatives and, under most conditions, they’ll give a cream at least a six-month shelf life. If you keep the cream refrigerated, it should keep three times as long.
