About Beeswax

We love our beeswax candles but did you know beeswax itself is a wonderful organic ingredient to be used in a lot of different ways. Today we will explore some amazing facts about beeswax and beeswax candles. 

1. Beeswax candles have been prized since ancient times. A beeswax candle is the oldest candle known to man. Tennessee Wicks beeswax candles are 100% natural beeswax. Not all beeswax are though, some beeswax candles can contain as little a 5% of beeswax. 
2. Beeswax candles are 100% natural and safe for the environment. Beeswax candles burn clean and are nontoxic, unlike other candles on the market. 
3. Beeswax is actually antibacterial and also anti-fungal - so it's great to use in lotion bars and bath melts. 
4. Speaking of bath melts - beeswax actually does moisturize the skin too - making it a wonderful ingredient to use for the skin, hair and lips.

So while Beeswax candles may not be the cheapest option, it is by far a more superior substance to use in candles. We love our beeswax candles and we have  saying around here. You either love a Tennessee Wicks 100% Natural Beeswax Candle or you've never had one! Take Care Y'all! -- Gretchen
