Our candles are made with only 100% pure cappings beeswax which is 100% of what the bees produce.
Many conventional beeswax candles are made by melting down all parts of the bee honeycomb, not just the hair-thin seal on the top, the cappings wax, which is the most desirable, pure, air-cleansing wax, perfectly created by the honey bees, in conjunction with Mother Nature herself.
These days, to reduce expenses, beekeepers often purchase honeycomb foundation that is not made of pure beeswax, rather, it can consist of up to 70% paraffin wax, or even contain low melt plastics, with only thin layer of real beeswax applied to the surface, so it ‘smells’ like an inviting home to the wild honey bees. If the pure beeswax ‘cappings’ are not extracted separately from the man-made, part paraffin foundation, the result is not 100% pure cappings wax.
In addition, we use only 100% therapeutic grade essential oils to scent them and 100% cotton wicks. No lead.
Rest assured, these are some of the purest candles on the market today!
