Beeswax Frequently Asked Questions
Why are beeswax candles better than other candles?
Beeswax candles naturally purify the air by emitting negative ions. Paraffin, soy, and other candles can be full of additives and contaminants which are released into the air when burned.
Beeswax is a 100% natural product , whereas paraffin is an oil based petroleum product.
Why does beeswax cost more than paraffin/soy?
Beeswax is a natural product 100% produced by bees. It is estimated that a bee must fly 150,000 miles and collect nectar from millions of flowers in order to produce one pound of beeswax.
For every 100 pounds of honey harvested, there is only about 1-2 pounds of beeswax!
Where does the beeswax come from?
Our beeswax is carefully sourced from small family beekeepers who care about protecting bees and caring for their colonies.
Does taking the beeswax harm the bees or their colony?
Absolutely not. Beeswax is cruelty-free because beekeepers do not harm or kill bees to extract honey or beeswax. Sometimes it is even harvested from abandoned hives.
Is beeswax vegetarian/vegan?
This is a personal decision; however, most vegetarians do use beeswax and honey because it does not harm the bees or their colonies to harvest, while vegans do not because they do not use animal products and extend this to products produced by bees.
Do you add anything to the candles?
Nope! Our candles are 100% beeswax because that is the highest quality and safest for your family.
Some candle makers mix soy or essential oils in their candles. While we personally love essential oils, we prefer them in a diffuser because burning them is not as safe or healthy.
We do not use any additives, scents, or colors.
