You will find savings in:

Your pocket book
Your environment
Your health
Your home



 
 “THE POCKET BOOK” COST
Pure Cappings Beeswax costs only pennies an hour to burn. On average, these
candles cost between 7 to 20 cents per hour to use. This is due to the
efficient, slow burn of beeswax and also because these candles are handmade
to burn perfectly each time, all the way to the bottom with no lost wicks or
tunneling. Any small amount of wax remaining from the ‘stump’ of your Original
Pheylonian Beeswax Candle, can be recycled into your next one for the most
cost effectiveness. For more in-depth info please check, Understanding and Maintaining your Beeswax Candle. On the other hand, paraffin averages out to about a buck 'n a quarter an hour. This is because paraffin is a fast burning fuel, which burns at a lower temperature. But the main reason paraffin is cost-inefficient is because many paraffin candles burn a tunnel right down the middle until the wick finally drowns itself out, or the wick literally burns away, necessitating pouring out the wax and eventually cutting down the sides. Often times, you end up throwing out a half to two-thirds of your ‘cheaper’ candle. Depending on the candle you burn, you can practice the Original Pheylonian Art of ‘Topping Up’ your beeswax candles. All of the votive candles and the 3" plus diameter pillars are easily topped up by recycling leftover wax from your last Original Pheylonian candle, and adding it to the liquid pool as the candle burns down. This practice utilizes every bit of the valuable pure cappings beeswax which makes these candles even MORE cost-effective.

 
 THE ENVIRONMENTAL COST
If you consider the cost on the environment of petroleum production compared to the completely non-polluting process of harvesting honey and beeswax, then beeswax is even more inexpensive in the long and short run. Beeswax is simply created from the pure and abundant natural nectars of mother nature's flowers. And on top of all that, beeswax is non-toxic, naturally aromatic, and completely healthful while producing the most conducive and balanced negative ions known to benefit humanity. Please see Negative Ions.

 
 COST OF HEALTHY LIVING
It is a proven fact that paraffin, with it's associated synthetic scents and other additives, causes headaches, allergic reactions and difficulties with sinuses and lungs. Anyone with allergies, or environmental sensitivities, will tell you of the negative effects of burning paraffin. Over the years, these candles have been sold to many top executives and technical engineers of the petroleum industry. They do not even let their families touch paraffin, much less burn it in their homes.

Please do not let your families burn or eat paraffin as this same ‘petroleum by-product’ substance is commonly used to coat all our fruits and vegetables. It is also being used as a preservative, stabilizer and filler within many food products, including commercial chocolate bars, processed foods, dairy products, breads, jams, etc.

 
 CLEAN HOME COST
Last, but certainly not least, is the indirect cost of using a fuel like
paraffin in your home. Paraffin emits a black soot that coats your walls,
household furnishings, curtains and not to mention your lungs and skin.
Unfortunately, burning paraffin can cost home owners thousands of dollars each
year to clean and refurbish their homes. Original Pheylonian candles burn with
no smoke (providing the wick is properly trimmed) and actually clean the air
in your home each time you use them.

 



Cheers to the honey bee for making this
natural, non-toxic alternative to paraffin wax!
