burning tip



burning tip
  1. Keep all candles away from open windows, fans and vents. No wind when the candle burning. A draft or breeze can cause the candle to drip or smoke and burn unevenly.beeswax candles1
  2. Make sure there is no breeze on the candle and make sure the wick is centered in the candle. If the wick is not centered, extinguish the candle and gently push the wick towards the centre of the candle while it is still warm.
  3. Remove all packaging and labels before lighting any candle.
  4. Always check the length of the wick before lighting a candle. Wicks should be kept trimmed between 3/16” (5mm) to 3/8” (9mm). When a wick is too long it can cause the candle to smoke, (emit black soot).
  5. All candles should have proper holders and be burned on a heat-proof surface..
  6. A 2” diameter candle is best burned for 1-2 hours at a time, a 3” candle for 2-4 hours and 4” candles must be burned 3-4 hours minimum. All candles can be burned longer than their suggested times.
  7. Extinguish beeswax candles by dunking the wick in its own liquid pool, or snuff the candle out with a snuffer. After dunking the wick make sure to stand the wick up straight again.
  8. A thin wall around the candle may result from burning, the wall may be pushed down, After extinguishing the candle flame and your candle has cooled warm to the touch, gently mold candle edges inward if needed with damp fingers. The wall will be thin, soft, malleable, and easy to push in after a proper burn. If a thick wall develops due to not burning long enough over several burns, the candle will have difficulty burning, the flame will become small, and the wick may eventually drown. Never pour off wax to expose more wicks. Instead, while still warm (but not burning) cut the wall down to the level of the wax pool.
  9. Do not place lighted candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.
  10. Sometimes they can be hard to light. Beeswax has a higher melt point than traditional waxes, so you may need to hold your lighter/match to the wick a little longer to get it started.
  11. To clean out one of our containers after your candle is burned: Place in oven and turn on warm up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the remainder of the wax melt and the metal tab loosen. Wipe clean with a paper towel until residue is removed. Take care to wear heat resistant gloves or mitts when handling hot containers. You may now re-use your containers.
  12. Keep your candle clean. Otherwise the dirty make candle to drip or smoke when it's burning.

beeswax candle info

Beeswax is a natural wax produced by individual honey bees of the genus Apis, it is the material that bees produce for making their combs. To produce one pound of beeswax, a worker bee eats about 10 pounds of honey, flies 240,000 kilometres and visit 33 million flower blossoms! Each of our beekeepers can gain about 100kgs raw beeswax every year.
Chemically, beeswax consists of mainly esters of fatty acids and various long-chain alcohols.Beeswax has many and varied uses. Primarily, it is used by the bees in making their honeycombs. Apart from this use by bees, the use of beeswax has become widespread and varied. Purified and bleached beeswax is used in the production of food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.Candle-making has long involved the use of beeswax, which is highly flammable, and this material traditionally was prescribed for the making of the Paschal candle or "Easter candle". Our golden leaf natural beeswax candles are used in Australia Orthodox Church.

beeswax candle
Not only do 100% pure beeswax candles create beautiful soft light, but they actually clean the air as they burn. Beeswax releases negative ions when it burns. Pollen, dust, dirt, pollutants, and any other junk in the air all carry a positive charge, and that is how they can be suspended in the air. The negative ions released from burning beeswax negate the positive charge of air contaminants, and the neutralized ions are sucked back into the burning candle or fall to the ground. Many air purifiers and water filters harness this effective negative ion technology.
but paraffin is made from the sludge at the bottom of barrels of crude oil, which is then treated and bleached with benzene and other chemical solvents before manufacturing it into candles. Paraffin candles put out soot and smoke when you burn them along with toxins and carcinogens. Since burning petrochemical paraffin smells bad, synthetic fragrance oils are added, many of which are irritating and even toxic when burned. Breathing paraffin candle residue is similar to breathing diesel fumes.Beeswax candles come in their natural state. The only process the wax goes through is filtering. It doesn’t go rancid like soy wax. Both soy wax and palm wax are hydrogenated and both come with concerns about their environmental impact., beeswax is the only natural substance that emits negative ions when burned.
Only 100% natural candle can clean air when it burn. The candle whatever wax material made from can be called beeswax if contain as little as 1% beeswax. So you must see if the candle labeled 100% beeswax. We ensure that we use 100% beeswax in all of our golden leaf beeswax candles.
