Most scented candles—especially those made from paraffin—are full of synthetic fragrances and chemical additives. When burned, they can release toxins and potentially harmful compounds into the air, including formaldehyde and benzene. These substances may contribute to headaches, respiratory issues, allergies, and even disrupt hormones over time.
Soy candles, while often marketed as a “natural” alternative, are not always what they seem. Soy wax is heavily processed and often mixed with other additives or paraffin to stabilize it. Plus, most soy comes from GMO crops, and the production process is far from environmentally friendly.
Beeswax candles, on the other hand, are a different story.
They are completely natural, non-toxic, and even clean the air as they burn. Beeswax releases negative ions that help neutralize pollutants, dust, and allergens. They're ideal for people with asthma or sensitivities.
In a world full of artificial scents and synthetic materials, going back to nature with pure beeswax is not just a healthier choice—it’s a beautiful one.
So before lighting that perfumed candle, think twice. Your air quality matters more than a trendy scent.
That’s why at Honey Bea, we craft only 100% natural beeswax candles—pure, safe, and made with care.
