Why Natural Wax?

At Zeeba Fine Arts, we believe in the benefits of using natural wax in our candles. Natural wax, such as soy wax, beeswax, and palm wax, offers a number of advantages over paraffin wax, which is a byproduct of petroleum.

One of the main benefits of using natural wax is that it is a renewable and sustainable resource. Soy wax, for example, is made from soybeans, which are a readily available and renewable crop. Beeswax, on the other hand, is made from the wax of bees, which can be sustainably harvested without harming the bees. In contrast, paraffin wax is a byproduct of petroleum, a non-renewable resource that can have negative environmental impacts.

Another advantage of using natural wax is that it is non-toxic and safe to use. Many candles made with paraffin wax release harmful chemicals such as benzene and toluene when burned. These chemicals can have negative health effects, particularly for people with respiratory issues. In contrast, natural wax candles release minimal to no harmful chemicals and are considered safe to use in your home.

Natural wax candles also tend to burn longer and more evenly than paraffin wax candles. This is because natural wax has a lower melting point, meaning that it burns at a lower temperature and releases fragrance better. Additionally, natural wax candles tend to be more fragrant than paraffin wax candles, as the fragrances used in natural wax candles are often made with essential oils.

Lastly, natural wax candles are biodegradable, meaning that they will not harm the environment when disposed of. Paraffin wax is not biodegradable and can cause pollution.

In conclusion, at Zeeba Fine Arts, we choose to use natural wax in our candles because it is a sustainable, non-toxic, and safe option that burns longer, more evenly, and releases fragrance better. It also helps the environment by being biodegradable. We believe in providing our customers with a high-quality product that is not only beautiful but also good for the environment.
