Candles! A necessity that people realize they need when the lights go out, whether or not it s your fault or not. They come in different shapes and sizes and even scents to set the right mood depending on the occasion. But most of their time is spent filling in the absence of light. They are also a great idea for breast cancer awareness giveaway items.

Certain materials can be used to create this wonderful invention. The most common is paraffin but have the disadvantage of releasing carcinogens into the air. With an emphasis on health and what can be done to reduce the carbon footprint, they emit in the environment around them. But there is a natural and healthy way around this and it comes in the form of candles made from Beeswax.

Fundamentally, because beeswax based candles come from bees, it means that the harmful carcinogens that are found in paraffin based and other kinds of blocks of wax is absent. Making for a much safer, cleaner and greener product overall. One which is safe enough to be used by people with compromised immune systems that happen to be hypersensitive like allergies.

As a result, the biggest benefit is that instead of producing soot and other carcinogens, is that when beeswax is burned. It releases what are known as Ions into the air that can be essential in neutralizing the air around its immediate environment. This means that a reduction in dust, pollutants, and orders are removed, making for a much more enjoyable experience.

They are also the ideal item to light up if you know someone with allergies, or even gifting someone with allergies as they are noncarcinogenic. Meaning, they do not contain any substances that when burned or come into contact with the human skin, aggravate or increase the likelihood of illnesses like cancer from forming.

Add some coconut oil to the containers that will be used as candles and mix with the melted wax using bamboo skewers. Place mixture back into boiling water and add wax. It would be a good idea to add 6 inches/ 15cm into the beeswax once it has melted. How many depends on the size of the coffee can but you should be able to make 3 candles minimum.

Once the wax has been added, remove the container from heat and allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes or until it s safe to hold in order to make adjustments to the wick. Repeat the process to make more candles and allow for them to cool overnight. Trim the top off but not too much such that tunneling will occur when lighting and there you have it. A beeswax candle.

Extra precautions should be taken into consideration during this entire process due to the fact that beeswax is an extremely flammable substance and should be handled with care in order to avoid any injuries or moderate to severe burns that could have been easily avoided with taking a little extra precaution. That will allow you and others to enjoy your craftsmanship
