We are very proud to have Wild African beeswax in all our candles. Primarily we chose this wax because it has been sourced sustainably, without causing harm to the environment or wildlife. Soy, on the other hand, is often produced using large-scale, monoculture farming methods that can have significant negative impacts on the environment, including deforestation and destruction of natural habitats. Additionally, many soy crops are genetically modified and treated with pesticides, which can have harmful effects on the soil and surrounding ecosystems. Furthermore, our wild African beeswax is harvested by local communities in a way that supports their livelihoods and traditions, helping to promote sustainable economic development in the region.
