Beeswax Candles are non-toxic, hypo-allergenic and non-carcinogenic. The American Lung Association warns that burning paraffin candles can emit toxins, in measurable amounts. Beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner than paraffin candles, with a smokeless flame and sweeten the smell of the room. Our candles are made in Ontario, Canada, with 100% pure beeswax.
