Beeswax

Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the hive of honeybees. Our beeswax is sourced from hives across Europe and is supplied pure and yellow in colour. It is a highly versatile wax used for a wide range of applications. Many customers use this wax for pillar candles, tealights, votives, and container candles in aluminium tins. A small amount of beeswax can also be added to other natural waxes to increase burn time and improve hardness. Please note that natural colour variations occur, so the shade of yellow may vary between batches.
