FAQ
What makes Beeswax candles so special?
Beeswax candles hold a special place in history, with their use as a source of light dating back thousands of years.
Our candles, crafted from pure beeswax, are not only eco-friendly and renewable but also emit a brilliant, white light in the same spectrum as sunlight. What's more, they carry a natural, delicate honey fragrance, adding to their charm.
Additionally, beeswax candles are also known for their hypo-allergenic qualities, providing a comfortable option for those with asthma or allergies who often find fewer sensitivities when using them.
