Ingredient Glossary

Beeswax

What It Is: Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees. It is collected from the honeycombs of the hive and can be used in various products, including candles and skincare. At Avani, we lighten our beeswax naturally through exposure to sunlight, maintaining its purity and avoiding harsh chemicals.

Benefits in Candles: Beeswax candles are non-toxic and release no harmful chemicals when burned. They have a natural honey-like aroma and emit negative ions, which help purify the air by neutralizing pollutants. Additionally, beeswax candles burn longer and brighter compared to other waxes, offering a cleaner and more sustainable candle experience.

Organic Coconut Oil

What It Is: Organic coconut oil is derived from the meat of mature coconuts and is known for its moisturizing and nourishing properties.

Benefits in Candles: When used in candles, coconut oil helps to soften the beeswax, resulting in a smoother, more even burn. It also adds a subtle, natural fragrance and enhances the candle’s ability to diffuse essential oils throughout a space.
