First recognized by the Ancient Romans for its delightful aromatic properties, beeswax was one of the first ingredients used for making candles. Beeswax, which burns very slowly and smells deliciously sweet, has since become the preferred candle-making material of artisans all over the world. Beeswax candles create a beautiful ambiance with their warm glow and sweet, subtle honey scent. Best of all, they even clean the air in your home! While paraffin candles pollute, beeswax candles create negative, air-purifying ions in much the same way that houseplants do. Beeswax candles can add a touch of elegance to your home or make a memorable gift for someone you cherish.
