Beeswax begins colorless and scentless which is infused with plant essence over time.
We work with local beekeepers to source fresh NY beeswax.
Our candles are hypoallergenic and naturally feature a vibrant color and honey-floral scent.
How is beeswax made? At fifteen days old, the female Honey bees engorge on honey then a flake of wax emerges from their belly. They sculpt this wax to create the hexagonal honeycomb—which houses food and babies. A beekeeper collects beeswax up to three times per year, as a byproduct of the honey harvest.
More simplicity. More light.
Candlelight leaves little to nothing behind. Our packaging matches this vanishing act. We use compostable materials like biodegradable tape, cotton string and uncoated paper for low-impact waste.
