This candle is made with 100% pure and sustainable beeswax. Pure beeswax is the healthiest candle wax. Beeswax produces negative ions which clean the air of odors, pollens, smoke, dust, dust mites, viruses, plus other allergens. These candles are great for people with allergies and asthma, as opposed to paraffin candles which are not healthy to burn. It is made with beeswax from a trusted apiary, uses an all cotton and lead free wick, and the smell is a heavenly honey scent!
