Our Handmade Hand Rolled candles are made using the purest beeswax sourced from Our own beehives, cleaned only using rainwater, no harsh chemicals or solvents; 100% Pure AUSTRALIAN Beeswax, processed in our own regional workshop in Ironbark, Qld 4306.

Moggill Honey Candles are hand rolled and make the perfect candle for entertaining and celebrating.  Why not add them to your next Christmas, Easter, Thanks Giving or Seasonal celebration?  They also make the perfect gift for Housewarmings, Engagements and Religious Traditions.

Each candle is:

  • Made from 100% Pure Australian beeswax
  • Hand Made By Queensland Beekeepers in our Ironbark workshop, 
  • Contains pure cotton wick (no lead, zinc or paraffin)
  • Is perfect for celebrations and gifts
  • Burns cleanly with a light honey scent
  • Chemical and artificial colour free. 

 

Our candles don't excessively drip, and exude smoke only when snuffed out. Releasing negative ions into the atmosphere binding with toxins in the air, the beeswax freshens the atmosphere with the ambience of a beautiful candle.

Beeswax is a natural product – a true gift to us from nature. It is completely safe, non-toxic and eco-friendly. It is the purest of all waxes used in candle making. These candles and the materials in them have not undergone any chemical treatments and are biodegradable. No additives and artificial scents or colouring have been used in creating these candles.

The thick cotton wick gives out a very high flame and when burning, the outline of the 'honeycomb' look of the candle adds to its beauty.

For best results: Candle wicks should be trimmed if the candle’s flame flickers or emits smoke or soot. Keep wick trimmed to 1/4" before lighting, and keep away from drafts. Place candles on a flat heat-safe surface away from drafts, small children and pets, and never leave burning candles unattended.

Please Note: As the beeswax we use is natural, sometimes products may vary in colour from the images shown. The pictures do however aim to be as close to the product as possible.

Our candles are handmade, they may slightly vary in height, size and colour.

Environmentally friendly and safe, non-toxic. Burn very clean with little smoke when trimmed properly as they are not oil-based. 100% beeswax candles are natural, undergoes no chemical processing and biodegradable.

Our beeswax is 100% pure, nothing added nor is it chemically cleaned, it does how ever vary in colour from batch to batch, as we DON'T use toxic chemicals to clean it.

 

HEALTH BENEFITS OF BEESWAX CANDLES

 

Air contains billions of electrically charged (both positive and negative) particles called ions.  The ions in the air affect our mood, energy and health.  Positive ions attract pollution and allergens and once bonded with, remain circulating in the air.  Negative ions seperate the pollution and allergens from the positive ions, thereafter allowing them to fall harmlessly to the ground & out of the air you breathe.

When burnt, beeswax candles produce negative ions which helps remove pollution and allergens from the air making it a cleaner and fresher environment for us all, particularly asthma and allergen sufferers.

Beeswax candles work in the same way as many air purifiers and filters by clearing the air of the dust, pollen and other suspended pollutants making the air clean and clear.

The benefits of beeswax candles

Some important chemistry and health lessons learnt from this job, namely the toxic effects of paraffin candles and the unique air-purifying properties of 100% beeswax candles.

The problem with paraffin candles

“Regular candles,” i.e. that bag of tealights you can buy for five bucks, are made from paraffin. As the name implies, paraffin candles are made from paraffin wax, a by-product of petroleum refining. The result? A highly toxic (and environmentally unfriendly) product that literally poisons the air you breathe.

Paraffin wax starts as the sludge at the bottom of the barrel of crude oil. Even asphalt is extracted before paraffin in the refining process! The black sludge, already filled with numerous toxins, undergoes bleaching and treatment by carcinogens benzene and/or toluene.

And the chemicals don’t stop there. Chemists mix in toxic concoctions of colours and fragrances to make this waste product marketable and appealing. The final result is a innocent looking candle which releases seven documented toxins –two of which are carcinogenic–when it burns.

And toxins aren’t the only problem with burning paraffin candles. Over time, repeatedly burning paraffin candles leaves black soot stains on walls, ceilings, furniture, and drapery. The microscopic soot particles at fault for the cosmetic damage also cause serious health problems. These tiny particles are easily inhaled and get trapped in the deepest part of the lungs, which may cause respiratory irritation.

 

How beeswax candles clean the air

Did you know that beeswax candles clean the air when they burn? 

Beeswax releases negative ions when it burns. Pollen, dust, dirt, pollutants, and any other junk in the air all carry a positive charge, and that is how they can be suspended in the air. The negative ions released from burning beeswax negate the positive charge of air contaminants, and the neutralized ions are sucked back into the burning candle or fall to the ground. Many air purifiers and water filters harness this effective negative ion technology.

Because beeswax candles clean the air and reduce indoor pollutants, they can effectively reduce asthma, allergies, and hay fever. One of the most rewarding parts of candle making is listening to customers tell me miraculous stories of how the beeswax candles changed their quality of life. The most common thing I heard was, “these are the only candles I can burn,” or “these are the only candles my husband will let me burn,” since the beeswax didn’t release irritating toxins and fragrances.

 

BEESWAX CANDLES SOUND GREAT, RIGHT? BUT THERE IS A CATCH…

Sneaky labeling on beeswax candles

Often, companies sell beeswax candles which contain a combination of 51% beeswax and 49% toxic paraffin. Look for the key phrase “100% Pure Beeswax” on candles.

At Moggill Honey, we only sell 100% pure beeswax candles, from beeswax sourced from our own hives.

100% pure beeswax candles come with an unexpectedly large price tag for those used to buying 100x paraffin tea lights for five bucks at XYZ@#. No one should pay money, however, to poison their home. When you buy 100% pure beeswax candles, you are making a health investment.

I’ve heard about lead in wicks. Is this true?

If a candle has a metal wire in the wick, it may contain lead. Lead is banned from use, but many imported candles, especially from China, still contain lead. Burn only candles with 100% cotton wicks and avoid any with a wire centre. If it has a wire centre, it will put zinc and other metals into your air.
