Beeswax

Description

Beeswax is naturally derived from bees and processed as a healthy wax that helps purify the air because it is smokeless and soothes. Usually, we are subject to mixing in another type of candle wax when using beeswax in our creations, like coconut wax, because coconut actually lets the scent breathe better. It is softer, has a cleaner burn, and produces a better product. Adding beeswax helps to firm up the natural soft texture of the coconut wax.

Remark:  

Mixing the beeswax with coconut oil helps the candle solidify at a more even temperature and reduces the likelihood of center collapse, although it can still happen.
