Breathing Easy: The Story Behind Why We Use Organic Coconut & Beeswax Candles

In the world of candle making, the choice of ingredients can make all the difference not only in the ambiance they create but also in the impact they have on our health. At LEWA Candle Co., we understand the importance of

crafting candles that not only create an amazing fragrance, but also contribute to a safer and healthier environment. In this blog post, I will delve into why I choose to use organic coconut and beeswax in our candles, a decision that was deeply influenced by personal experiences and a commitment to quality.

The journey towards crafting candles with organic coconut and beeswax began with a personal concern for the health of my child. My son's asthma became a central focus, prompting me to reevaluate the products we used in our home, including candles. Traditional candles often contain paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum, which can release harmful chemicals into the air when burned.

A Breath of Fresh Air:

As a parent, the well-being of my family took precedence, and I started researching alternative candle materials that would be safer for my son, especially in an indoor environment. This led me to the discovery of organic coconut and beeswax, two natural substances that not only burn cleanly but also emit minimal toxins. Making the switch to these ingredients was not just a business decision, but a commitment to creating a safer and healthier space for my family.

The Headache Connection:

In my pursuit of a safer alternative, I stumbled upon another personal revelation – the connection between headaches and candles made from petroleum-based ingredients. As I experimented with different candles, I noticed a significant reduction in headaches when using candles made from organic coconut and beeswax. This first-hand experience reinforced my belief in the importance of providing our customers with a candle option that not only enhances their surroundings but also promotes well-being.

Benefits of Organic Coconut & Beeswax:

1. Cleaner Burn: Organic coconut and beeswax candles burn cleanly, producing minimal soot and pollutants. This not only ensures a healthier environment but also extends the life of the candle.

2. Natural Fragrance: Unlike synthetic fragrances often found in paraffin candles, organic coconut and beeswax candles release a subtle, natural scent that enhances the ambiance without overpowering.

3. Non-Toxic: Free from the harmful chemicals found in some traditional candles, our organic candles offer a non-toxic alternative that is safe for your health and the environment.

At LEWA Candle Co., our commitment to crafting candles from organic coconut and beeswax is deeply rooted in personal experiences and a dedication to providing a safer alternative for our customers.
