Frequently Asked Question

What makes Prairie SunBeeswax different from other beeswax brands?

We use only 100% pure Canadian beeswax, sustainably sourced and naturally charcoal filtered. Our beeswax is naturally honey-scented, additive-free, and hand-poured with care right here on our farm.

Is your beeswax filtered?

Yes, all of our beeswax is charcoal filtered to remove debris while retaining its natural colour, scent, and beneficial properties. We also offer ivory and white beeswax, which has been further filtered for a lighter hue and milder scent.

Do your beeswax candlescontain any additives or scents?

No. Our candles are made from 100% pure beeswax with cotton wicks. The soft honey scent comes naturally from the wax—no added fragrance, paraffin, or soy.

Why do the colour and scentof beeswax vary?

Beeswax naturally varies in colour and scent depending on the flowers, pollen, and propolis in the hive. Over time, the
colour may turn lighter, or the surface of the candle may become whiter. This
is called beeswax bloom and a sign of authentic, untreated beeswax. You can
leave the bloom alone or remove it with a little heat—running it under warm
water or using a blow dryer.

Are your products handmade?

Yes. All of our candles and beeswax blocks are handcrafted in small batches on our farm in Manitoba, Canada.

How long do beeswax candlesburn?

Beeswax burns slower than other waxes. Depending on the size and shape of the candle, burn times can range from 6 hours (for a votive) to over 50 hours (for large pillars).
