What's so great about beeswax as a candle and as a fuel in general? First and foremost, beeswax candles burn brighter, longer, and cleaner than any other candle! The flame emits essentially the same light spectrum as the sun and in the process of burning emits, negative ions that are known to clean the air and invigorate the body (reportedly, stimulating the puitary gland, thus increasing creativity, intuition, and dream activity).
Our Pure beeswax candles are not blended with any other wax.
Little Known Beeswax Candle Facts:
According to industry rules within the United States, any candle crafted with a minimum of 51% Beeswax, may be represented as 100% beeswax in both the advertising and labeling. Under the rule: No candles producer is obligated to reveal any other waxes present in their candle, as long as the additional waxes and additives do not exceed 49% of the finished product!
With these loose industry standards, most individuals who believe they have always burned pure beeswax candles, have very likely never been in possession of a candle which is anywhere near pure beeswax!

Pure Beeswax Fact: Beeswax is a highly viscous wax. Candle molds are traditionally meant to be used for waxes that expand when heated, and retract cleanly when cooled. (One reason crafters mix paraffin with beeswax) Pure beeswax does not cleanly retract when cooled. As a result, most beeswax candles are not the perfect, flawless pillars we are accustomed to with paraffin wax candles.
Pure beeswax candles are beautiful, elegant and naturally flawed works of art!
