Beeswax vs Parafin

Paraffin wax and beeswax are both commonly used to make candles, and each has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.

Paraffin wax is a petroleum-based product that is readily available, inexpensive, and versatile. Paraffin candles are easy to make, and come in a wide range of scents and colors. They have a good fragrance throw and provide a stable, consistent flame.

Beeswax, on the other hand, is a natural, renewable resource that is derived from the wax produced by bees. It is a more expensive option than paraffin, but it has several benefits. Beeswax candles are non-toxic and emit negative ions, which can help purify the air. They have a natural honey scent and a longer burn time than paraffin candles. Beeswax candles are also considered a more sustainable option, as they do not release harmful chemicals into the air when burned.
