As a child I could often be found rescuing injured birds, hedgehogs and my personal great love, bees, who sometimes needed shelter from a heavy down pour of rain or a little energy boosting sugar meal before safely flying home to their hives.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, in 2018 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, thankfully I am now all <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/candle-making-extras\/50mm-candle-safety-label-white-black-text\">clear<\/a> but during that period I started looking into the many benefits of bees and their honey, for many illnesses and allergies.<\/p>\n<p>Since prehistoric times bees\u2019 have been revered for their \u201cdivine gifts and <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/candle-making-supplies\/fragrance-oils-for-candle-making\/all-fragrances\/midnight-passion-fragrance-oil\">mysterious<\/a> powers.\u201d This led me onto discovering the benefits of 100% bees\u2019 wax candles, including neutralising pollutants and improving our moods. As well as, filling your home with the delicious scent of honey, burning beeswax candles produce negative ions which then neutralise airborne pollutants, helping to remove the negative effects of breathing in dust, odours, and mould. The negative ions also stimulate the pituitary glands increasing creativity, intuition, and dream activity as well as being a great option for sufferers with allergies, sinus issues.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-56238 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"776\" height=\"881\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41.png 1292w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-264x300.png 264w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-902x1024.png 902w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-768x872.png 768w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-200x227.png 200w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-400x454.png 400w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-600x681.png 600w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-800x908.png 800w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-1200x1363.png 1200w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-500x568.png 500w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-700x795.png 700w, https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screenshot-2023-02-28-at-14.40.41-64x73.png 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Tell us more about your Lipbalm and lotion bars&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>I also have a small range of nourishing lip balms and super moisturising solid lotion bars all made with bees wax which are great for dry skin including those with dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, sunburn and burns.

The temperature should be around 155-160F, at this point you should notice a thin film around edges of the pot and a thin film coating on top. Rather than returning to my double boiler to disperse the coating, I use my heat gun to quickly torch the coating before pouring into containers.
