100% pure East Sussex beeswax, cotton wick
Performance, Safety & Care
Trim the wick to 6mm (1/4") before lighting to get the cleanest, longest burn.
Directions for use: Place on a stable, heat-proof surface, away from draughts and flammable objects before lighting.
For large candles, always allow the wax to melt to the outer edge on the first burn to prevent tunneling.
Note: Our beeswax is naturally a warm, classic yellow. The deep orange tones in this photo are from the natural forest light, not the wax itself.

A note from the maker
I’m Jeremy, a beekeeper in East Sussex. This polish began as beeswax recipe I made for our own home. Our aim was a gentle, effective wood care product without turpentine or strong fumes. The beeswax comes from our hives, strained by hand through muslin several times to bring you the purest natural beeswax..
At Joy from the Hive, we believe in traditional craftsmanship. We keep to natural ingredients, whilst avoiding toxic chemicals. All our wood care treatments are hand crafted, with thanks to the honeybees.
