Birthday Candles. Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic. Food Safe

Are birthday beeswax candles safe in contact with cake?

Yes, beeswax birthday candles are safe when in contact with cake (or with food in general). As a matter of fact, raw beeswax we use is exactly the same type of wax that is in constant contact with honey in hives. Raw beeswax is a natural produce made entirely by bees. Beeswax is made by young bees between 12 and 17 day of their lives. Small blocks of fresh wax is produced on their glands. It is estimated that between 4 and 8 kg of honey is being used in the process of production of 1kg of beeswax. Beeswax contains nothing more than nectar and enzymes. Therefore it’s the safest option of all possible wax types. It’s food safe and can be used in direct contact with any food not contamination it at all! Also when raw beeswax birthday candles are blown out, smoke is minimal.

Are birthday candle dripless?

Yes, we make all out candle by hand. And assuming they are in an upright position, candles are dripless. Raw beeswax birthday candles also produce minimal smoke when blowing out

Are they hand-made?

Yes, all our birthday candles are hand-made in our apiary in Hertfordshire, UK.

Why beeswax birthday candles are superior to those available on high street?

Firstly our candles are made by hand and we know what exactly goes into them – 100% pure beeswax. Secondly beeswax is a natural produce and is safe for use around children and in contact with food. Thirdly beeswax is sustainable produce made exclusively by bees. We don’t cut trees in order to plant soy and produce process it in order to get soy wax. We don’t have to process beeswax extracted from hives in order to get it to the stage where it can be used for candle making. Beeswax is not a by product of petroleum unlike paraffin used to produce cheap high street candles. Lastly, beeswax candles are safe, natural and sustainable candles with lots of medical and health – related benefits.
