The power of sunlight

Here at John B Garrett we have started to use pure beeswax candles for our degrees. Here is why.

Beeswax candles are a natural healthy and sustainable choice.

Beeswax, a natural product created by bees, offers a unique and beneficial alternative to traditional candles. Known for its clean burn, warm glow, and pleasant honey scent, beeswax has been used for centuries to illuminate homes and create a calming atmosphere.

Health Benefits

  • Air Purification: Beeswax candles release negative ions, which can help neutralize airborne particles like dust, pollen, and mold spores, improving indoor air quality.

  • Stress Reduction: Some studies suggest that the negative ions emitted by beeswax candles can help reduce stress and boost mood.

  • Allergy Relief: For those with allergies or respiratory issues, the air-purifying properties of beeswax candles can provide relief.

Environmental Benefits

  • Sustainability: Beeswax is a natural, renewable resource produced by bees as they build their honeycombs.

  • Biodegradability: Beeswax candles are fully biodegradable and compostable, leaving no harmful residue.

  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: Beeswax candles have a smaller carbon footprint compared to paraffin or soy candles, which often require more intensive processing and transportation.

  • Support for Beekeepers: Purchasing beeswax candles supports the beekeeping industry, which is crucial for maintaining healthy bee populations.

Additional Advantages

  • Longer Burn Time: Beeswax candles have a higher melting point, resulting in a longer burn time and making them more cost-effective in the long run.

  • Natural Light: Beeswax Candles: The Natural Light You Crave

    Experience the Comfort of Sunlight, Without the Sun

    Beeswax candles are more than just a source of light; they're a way to bring the warmth and comfort of natural sunlight into your home. Unlike other candles that can emit harsh, artificial light, beeswax candles produce a spectrum of light that is identical to the sun's rays. This means you can enjoy a bright, inviting atmosphere without the risk of eye strain or headaches.

    The Perfect Mood, Without the Smoke

    Not only do beeswax candles offer a natural light source, but they also burn cleanly with minimal smoke. This ensures a smoke-free environment, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the peaceful ambiance they create. Whether you're relaxing after a long day or enjoying a romantic evening, beeswax candles provide the perfect setting.

By choosing beeswax candles, we enjoy the benefits of a clean, healthy, and sustainable and sacred space.
