Beeswax is a beautiful wax that is physically different than other candle waxes. Here is a side by side comparison of an air filter used for an 8 hour test in an enclosed chamber to determine the quality of the air coming off of our 100% beeswax candle versus a paraffin candle.
The Holy Honey 100% Beeswax Candle leaves a clean honey colored reside while paraffin leaves a black oily residue that is permeating your house and the air you breathe. Many people claim they have a 'clean burning' candle, which can either mean it burns evenly and doesn't create a tunneling effect, or they're claiming clean air after burning which I'd never seen proven. We set out to prove if beeswax really did burn 'clean' - and the results were better than we anticipated.
*Above is an image of our initial in office rough test, and below is the version we used to demonstrate the results for our on-air footage for QVC. I always love seeing behind the scenes! This glass set up was custom made to demonstrate what we were able to prove in our lab. The air filter machine, filters and Otho Holy Honey Candle are identical to what was used to prove the results, but the glass was made fancier :)
Which would you rather burn in your house? Which would you rather be breathing?
When researching beeswax, an expert in the field told us a story about HVAC companies seeing the soot created from paraffin scented candles in customer's home air filters. When they visited homes that burned only beeswax candles, the filters did not have this black sooty residue on the filters. To be honest I didn't think we'd see such drastic and clear results, but our test proved that our 100% beeswax candle really is a clean filter tested candle.
God made bees, and bees truly make the best wax of all :)
