A few great things about BeeTheLight's tapers: Beeswax is the most natural, unprocessed, and longest-lasting of all the candle waxes While burning other types of candles pollute the air, beeswax taper candles actually PURIFY the air as they burn, and are a great option for folks with allergies BeeTheLight exists to support a wholesome life together and a number of humanitarian projects a few more awesome things about these candles... 100% pure USA beeswax 100% cotton wick (lead-free and non-toxic) Unscented (contains an all-natural light honey scent) Handmade sustainably in Harrisonburg, Virginia Earth-friendly and hypoallergenic Naturally purifies the air with negative ions as it burns Longest burn times, smokeless and dripless, IF ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED BELOW ARE FOLLOWED Get the most out of your candle! Each candle will burn extremely long and virtually smokeless and dripless if you follow the following: Trim the wick to about ¼ inch. Extinguish by dunking the wick in the wax pool, not by blowing it out (this preserves the wick) Always burn in a holder, on fireproof surfaces and away from children, and anything flammable. NEVER leave candles unattended Ethically sourced, crafted with a purpose. We use 100% pure USA beeswax and pour our candles by hand. Our vision is a social enterprise that nourishes people, planet and soul, while starving hatred, greed, and Evil Babylon. A bit about wax: the mass amount of candles out there burn paraffin wax. Unlike the stuff of the bees, paraffin is petroleum-based and highly toxic when burned, releasing at least two known carcinogens into the air (benzene and toluene). Beeswax, on the other hand, is not only a sustainable source of illumination, it is also a purifying one. Burning beeswax taper candles releases negative ions that cleanse the air. The light they emit is also an essential ingredient to effective late-night conspiring. Plus, they smell like honey. Which is awesome.
