The materials - 100% beeswax and cotton wick - that's it.
Our candles are made from 100% pure beeswax, delivered directly from beekeepers from all over Bulgaria. Beeswax is a by-product of honey extraction – it is obtained from the lids of the six-walled cells filled with honey on the honeycomb. Beeswax is melted and poured in the form of round and square blocks – this is how we get the raw wax. We then filter it again – in order to achieve a high level of purity and ensure there are no residues that could adversely affect the burning efficiency.
Beeswax is the most perfect material for making candles of entirely natural origin – produced by bees. It is the only natural wax for candles that does not require arable land for its production – the result of the perfect symbiosis between the beekeeper and the bees. It is obtained as a by-product in the production of honey. Compared to all other types of wax, beeswax burns better, brighter, with a higher temperature and longer than other types of wax. It does not need chemical treatment, additives, or enhancers to improve these properties. The pleasant natural honey scent of beeswax is yet another wonderful advantage over all other types of wax.
We use wicks made of high-quality cotton. We do not use lead or zinc cores. The wick for each of our candles has a carefully selected number of strands of braid and density. Before production, we test each batch of wax by burning several candles of different sizes with different wick sizes. Hence, we monitor whether the batch has similar qualities to previous batches and select the appropriate wick sizes. Thus, we are able to guarantee the wick will ensure the slowest and most complete burning of the candle with less likelihood of dripping, without the flame being too high and without any unreasonable smoking.
