Beeswax candles are made, by definition, from natural beeswax. Beeswax is a compound of "esters of fatty acids and various long chain alcohols," according to Wikipedia. Beeswax can be more or less filtered to remove impurities. You can read about the process at the Cheeky Bee Candle company website:http://cheekybee.com/the-beauty-of-beeswax

∙ 15y agoIt depends what type of candle it is. Some companies mix ingredients together such as paraffin and other gels to form the wax and then add a fragrance to that.

How does oxygen Affect how fast a candle will burn?
when a candle burns, the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light. If you give the candle more oxygen then it will burn brighter, but it will burn out more quickly. It all depends whether the candle has a high or low concentration of oxygen. The main reason why the candle burns brighter is because there is a better chance that the oxygen will bump into the wax on the wick. when a candle burns, the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light.
