The Stargaze Promise
Say Hello to Cleaner Air and Happier Lungs
Standard candles made from paraffin wax release harmful chemicals into the air, like benzene and toluene which are known carcinogens.
When you use beeswax candles, you get to miss out on all of this. The result? Cleaner, purer air, and less respiratory irritation.
Why You Should Switch To Beeswax
Avoid the Toxins
Standard paraffin candles contain numerous chemicals and toxins that get released into the air as the candles burn. Some of these chemicals are known to be cancer-causing, irritating to the respiratory system, and can exacerbate asthma and allergy symptoms.
Beeswax is clean burning, non-toxic, and air purifying. It doesn't release any chemicals or toxins into the air when burned.
Ecofriendly
Beeswax is natural, renewable, and biodegradable unlike paraffin wax which is made from crude oil.
Beeswax is a by-product of honey production.
Pure & Natural
Our candles are always made with pure 100% beeswax, no additives-ever.
We use 100% cotton wicks, so you can breathe easy knowing your candles are safe.
Paraben & Pthalate Free
Some candles use parabens to extend the shelf life and many scented candles use pthalates which are chemical synthetic fragrances.
Our candles never contain parabens or pthalates and are made of 100% pure beeswax.

Avoid These Chemicals That are Destroying Your Health
According to the EPA, paraffin wax candles are the leading cause of indoor air pollutions.
A 2017 study published in the International Journal of Tropical Disease and Healthfound that burning paraffin candles can release pollutants that may pose health risks, particularly in enclosed spaces.
The CDC lists symptoms caused from paraffin wax fumes include irritation in the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, as well as discomfort and nausea.
Paraffin, a byproduct of petroleum, is a common material for most candles. The production of paraffin wax involves chemical bleaching and deodorizing of petroleum waste, which are then processed into wax. When paraffin wax candles are burned, they can emit harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including carcinogens such as:
🚫Alkenes
🚫Acetone
🚫Benzene
🚫Toluene
These compounds, also present in diesel exhaust, are associated with triggering allergies, asthma, and skin irritations.
FAQs
Will these candles fit my holder?
Our candles are approximately 0.69" (just under 3/4") in diameter at the bottom.
If they're too small, we recommend melting the bottom of the candle, or use a little candle adhesive to make it stick to the holders.
If they're too big, beeswax is soft enough to take a knife and scrape the sides of the bottom to fit your holders. Alternatively you can use a taper candle sharpener.
Will these candles drip?
Our customers report that our candles drip very minimally, if at all.
Candles that drip excessively can be caused by burning in a drafty area, or not standing straight.
How are these different than other Shabbat candles?
Our Shabbat candles are made from 100% pure beeswax.
This pure and clean burning wax won't release any toxic chemicals and is more earth friendly than paraffin.
