Did You Know?

Most "Beeswax" Candles Aren't Pure Beeswax

There's no legal standard requiring a candle labeled "beeswax" to actually be 100% beeswax. A candle can be 10% beeswax — blended with paraffin or soy — and still call itself a beeswax candle on the label.

Paraffin is a petroleum byproduct. When burned, it releases volatile organic compounds including benzene and toluene — the same compounds found in vehicle exhaust. Soy wax, while plant-based, is typically extracted using hexane solvents and is still often blended with paraffin.

Beeswax Pat uses one ingredient. Not a blend — just beeswax. You can verify it: the only thing on our ingredient label is 100% Organic American Beeswax.

Paraffin Wax

Petroleum byproduct. Releases VOCs including benzene and toluene when burned. Produces black carbon soot.

Soy Wax Blends

Often 20–40% paraffin. No legal standard for "soy candle" purity. Extracted using hexane solvents.

Beeswax Blends

Can be as little as 10% actual beeswax. Still legally labeled "beeswax candle." Common and misleading.

Beeswax Pat

One ingredient: 100% organic American beeswax. No blends, no additives, no petroleum. Ever.

The Science

Why Beeswax Burns Better

Burns Cleaner

Paraffin produces visible black carbon soot that coats jar rims, walls, and ceilings. Beeswax burns with a cleaner flame because it's a natural, non-petroleum wax with fewer combustion byproducts. Less mess, less residue.

Burns Longer

Beeswax has the highest melting point of any natural wax — 144–149°F versus 122–131°F for soy and 99–130°F for paraffin. Higher melting point means the wax liquefies more slowly, giving you a longer, more efficient burn.

Zero Synthetics

No petroleum, no solvents, no synthetic fragrance, no dyes, no stabilizers. Pure beeswax is produced by honeybees and requires no chemical processing to become a candle. One ingredient. That's the whole list.

Who We Are

A Father & Son, A Shared Craft

Beeswax Pat started in 2025 in Severn, Maryland — a father and son who wanted to make something real. We'd burned enough candles that smelled great in the store and gave us headaches at home. We knew what was in most of them. We wanted better.

So we started pouring our own. We source 100% American organic beeswax — not imported, not blended — and hand-pour every candle ourselves in small batches. No shortcuts. No fillers. No marketing tricks.

The product speaks for itself: one ingredient, 40+ hours, and a warm honey scent that comes from the beeswax, not a lab. That's the whole story.

FAQ

Common Questions

Yes. Our only ingredient is 100% organic American beeswax. No paraffin, no soy, no wax blends, no additives of any kind. You can read our label — it says exactly one thing: "Ingredients: 100% Organic American Beeswax."
Pure beeswax costs significantly more than paraffin or soy per pound. A $10 "beeswax" candle is almost certainly a blend — it has to be. We use premium American-sourced organic beeswax with no fillers to cut cost. You're paying for what's actually in it. And at 40+ hours of burn time, the cost per hour is competitive with cheaper alternatives.
A warm, subtle natural honey scent — from the beeswax itself, not added fragrance. It's not overpowering. If you want a strong scent throw from synthetic fragrance oils, this isn't that candle — and we'd rather tell you upfront than have you disappointed. If you want something clean that smells gently of warm honey, this is it.
40+ hours. Beeswax has the highest melting point of any natural wax (144–149°F), which means it liquefies more slowly and burns longer per ounce than paraffin or soy. For best results: burn at least 1 hour per session so the wax melts fully across the top, and trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.
