What Does 100% Pure Beeswax Actually Mean?

You'll see "beeswax" on a lot of candle labels. But "beeswax blend," "beeswax-scented," or even "natural wax" can mean something very different from 100% pure beeswax. Here's what sets pure beeswax apart — and why it's the only wax we use.

Pure Means No Fillers, No Blends, No Shortcuts Many candles labeled "beeswax" contain as little as 10% actual beeswax, blended with paraffin or soy to reduce cost. At Momo's Place, 100% pure beeswax means exactly that — no blends, no fillers, no synthetic additives. Just beeswax, as nature made it.

The Cleanest Burn Available Pure beeswax has the highest melting point of any natural wax, which means it burns slower, longer, and more cleanly than paraffin or soy. It produces no black soot, no toxic emissions, and no synthetic fragrance byproducts. For anyone with sensitivities, allergies, or simply a preference for clean indoor air, pure beeswax is the gold standard.

Naturally Scented, Naturally Beautiful Pure beeswax carries a faint, natural honey scent — warm, subtle, and completely free of synthetic fragrance. Our scented candles use only pure essential oils and natural botanicals, never synthetic fragrance oils, so what you smell is always clean and true.

Sourced with Transparency Our beeswax comes from a 70-year-old apiary in New England. We know our source, we trust our source, and we're proud to share it. Short supply chains mean full accountability — from hive to hand to home.

Shop 100% Pure Beeswax Candles Every candle at Momo's Place is made from 100% pure beeswax, hand poured in small batches, with FSC-certified wood wicks. Browse our full collection — vessel candles, pillars, tapers, votives, tealights, and refills — and find the one that's right for your space.
