Pure Beeswax is one of nature"s most perfect products. Prized since ancient times, fragrant beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner than ordinary wax candles. In fact, pure beeswax has the highest melting point of any known wax; its slow smokeless flame gives off more light and heat than other waxes and there is little dripping. Made by industrious young honeybees from their own wax glands, beeswax has a naturally sweet honey fragrance all of it"s own. 100% pure beeswax emits negative ions as it burns; negative ions are what clean the air during rain storms, so your candle will actually clean the air while giving off its sweet honey fragrance.
