Pure Essential Oils in Beeswax Candles

That’s why more people are switching to pure beeswax candles that are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and safe for pets and children. At Living Good Candle Co., we combine pure essential oils with 100% beeswax to create eco-friendly candles that transform your space while supporting your health.

What Are Pure Essential Oils?

Essential oils are powerful plant extracts used in high-quality candles to provide not only beautiful fragrance but also genuine aromatherapy benefits. These plant-based scented candles promote clean air and enhance your emotional and physical wellbeing. Unlike synthetic fragrance oils that may contain undisclosed toxins, essential oils are derived from real plants—lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, and citrus, to name a few.

We source oils from plants harvested at their peak, when their aroma and therapeutic potency are strongest. The oils are extracted using gentle processes like steam distillation or cold pressing, which retain the integrity of the plant's natural benefits. For example, citrus oils are often cold-pressed from rinds, while flowers like lavender are distilled.

In our candles, we only use essential oils without synthetic additives, phthalates, or parabens. This commitment ensures our products remain ideal for households with allergies, pets, children, or anyone looking to breathe easier at home.

Why Beeswax Is Better Than Other Waxes

When it comes to eco-friendly candles, beeswax stands out for its purity and performance. It’s a natural byproduct of the beekeeping process and needs no industrial processing. In contrast, paraffin wax—a common commercial wax—is a petroleum derivative known to release toxins like benzene and toluene when burned. Soy wax is sometimes marketed as clean, but it’s often genetically modified and mixed with synthetic stabilizers or paraffin blends.

Beeswax candles burn cleaner, brighter, and longer. They emit a subtle honey-like aroma and pair perfectly with essential oils, enhancing their benefits without competing with artificial smells. When lit, beeswax releases negative ions that bind to dust, pollen, and airborne pollutants. These particles are neutralized and fall from the air, leaving your home fresher and your indoor air quality significantly improved.

If you suffer from allergies, asthma, or chemical sensitivity, choosing non-toxic beeswax candles is a smart move for both your wellness and the planet.

Our Clean Candle-Making Process

At Living Good Candle Co., our candles are hand-poured in small batches to ensure quality in every jar. We start with 100% pure beeswax, free from any blends or fillers. Once melted to the perfect temperature, we mix in our therapeutic-grade essential oils—preserving their integrity and fragrance throw. The mixture is then poured into reusable glass jars, which are easy to clean and designed to last.

We avoid synthetic dyes, paraffin additives, and chemical preservatives at all costs. Instead, our candles are made to be safe enough to burn around children, pets, and anyone with scent sensitivity. Every batch is tested for burn time, scent strength, and air-purifying performance, ensuring consistency across every candle you buy.

Our mission is simple: create a natural candle you’ll feel good about lighting every single day.

The Health Benefits of Clean-Burning Candles

Candles can either purify your space or pollute it. Many commercial options release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have been linked to headaches, allergies, and respiratory issues. Paraffin, in particular, emits soot and chemicals that settle on your walls and furniture—contaminating your indoor environment.

Beeswax candles, on the other hand, support your health. As they burn, they emit negative ions, which bond with airborne toxins, making them heavier and pulling them from your breathing space. This makes beeswax candles a natural way to support cleaner indoor air.

Pair that with essential oils like lavender (great for sleep), peppermint (energizing), and eucalyptus (clears the airways), and your candle becomes a real tool for wellbeing.

For families with children, pets, or elderly relatives, beeswax candles are an ideal way to maintain a healthier, more breathable home without introducing artificial chemicals into the air.

Why We Avoid Synthetic Fragrances

While many scented candles on the market use synthetic fragrances for strong, lasting scent throw, these artificial additives can have long-term health consequences. Many synthetic scents contain hundreds of chemical compounds, often unlisted, which can cause headaches, nausea, hormone disruption, or even worsen asthma and allergies.

They’re also dangerous for pets—especially cats and birds, which are highly sensitive to airborne chemicals.

At Living Good Candle Co., we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your health or your air quality for ambiance. That’s why our candles are always:

Free from synthetic fragrance oils
Free from paraffin
Free from dyes and stabilizers
Made with 100% pure beeswax
Scented only with essential oils

Indoor Air Benefits: A Candle That Works For You

Imagine a candle that doesn’t just smell good—but actually cleans the air. That’s the magic of beeswax. When burned, beeswax releases negative ions, which attach to dust, pet dander, mold spores, and other particles floating around your room. These now-heavy particles drop out of the air, making it easier to breathe.

That’s why beeswax candles are frequently recommended for households with asthmatics, children, or allergy-prone family members.

So instead of spraying synthetic room fresheners or running an expensive air purifier, you can simply light a beeswax candle and enjoy both a calming atmosphere and cleaner air.

When and Where to Use Our Candles

You don’t need a special occasion to light one of our candles. Whether it’s the middle of a busy weekday or the start of a quiet weekend, our candles create a sanctuary in any space. Some of our favorite moments:

How to Reuse Your Candle Jar

We design our jars to be as beautiful as the candles inside. Once your candle is done, don’t toss the jar—repurpose it!

Clean the inside with warm, soapy water, and peel off the label if desired. Then, transform your jar into something useful:

A makeup brush holder
A pen and pencil cup
A mini vase for your nightstand
A bathroom organizer for cotton rounds or q-tips
Or refill the jar using our Eco Candle Making Kit, designed to make the process simple and fun. It’s a sustainable cycle we’re proud to support.
