Pure 100% Bayberry (myrica cerifera) available with no added waxes. Bayberry is among the hardest to find and most expensive waxes. A good vegan alternative to beeswax, and for those who wish to avoid petroleum based paraffin, or soy based waxes.
Bayberry candles are a Yule tradition since the colonial days, with a wonderful warm spicy scent and clean burning smokeless candles. It takes 9 pounds of berries to make 1 pound of wax so for the early Americans, this was a scarce and precious item reserved for the darkest winter months and holiday celebrations. Settlers believed burning bayberry candles would attract wealth and prosperity, and some today believe burning bayberry candles creates a closer bond and improves partnerships.
Bayberry wax is also used in shaving creams, salves, balms, beard wax, and other vegan beauty products.
For candles, bayberry wax is usually blended with beeswax because it is brittle and doesn't burn as well in pure form. I am offering pure bayberry wax pastilles (pellets), and blended 50/50 bayberry and beeswax combination for candles in a 10 ounce block which is the size of a miniature loaf pan.
The cotton wicking is size #2 - Used for pillar type rolled candles and molded candles from 2 to 4 inches in diameter.
