Why we love it:

The Josee Pillars are simple and sculptural. Made from 100% pure beeswax, they offer an alternative to the standard column pillar. They are available in three sizes and are sold individually, so you can mix and match. From their studio in the foothills of the Catskills Mountains, Greentree Home Candle produce a collection of contemporary beeswax candles with cotton wicks, that are individually poured and hand finished, with rich textures, forms and a vivid palette. Far more than candles they are sculptural renderings; objects that evoke beauty and serenity with graceful sophistication.

• Because it melts more slowly, a beeswax candle can outlast a paraffin candle of the same size by up to 2-3 times. It also typically lasts 30–50% longer than soy candles, so despite being more expensive up front beeswax candles have a low burn cost per hour
• Beeswax produces a bright, warm, golden flame that sits in the same light spectrum as natural sunlight, offering a more vivid and "amber-toned" glow than its cousins.

• Air Purification: Burning beeswax is believed to release negative ions into the air. These ions may bind to positively charged pollutants like dust, pollen, and odours, causing them to drop out of the air.
• Non-Toxic Origins: Unlike paraffin, which is a petroleum byproduct that can release carcinogens like benzene and toluene when burned, 100% beeswax is a natural byproduct of honey production.
• Natural Aroma: While soy and paraffin often rely on synthetic fragrances that can trigger migraines, beeswax has a subtle, natural honey-like scent even when unscented.
