Question: what is the difference between beeswax and candle wax?
Answer: Beeswax candles burn very cleanly when the wick is trimmed properly, producing hardly any soot. Paraffin candles produces a lot of soot. ... All organic compounds when burned will emit some carbon (soot) due to incomplete combustion. Beeswax burns hotter than paraffin wax and therefore will have less overall soot.
