Root Altar Candles are our flagship product, the first product for church use that was produced by our founder, Amos Ives Root. Using beeswax from his own hives, he rolled sheets of pure beeswax around wicks. Our candles are no longer made by rolling, but Root has not given up the old standards of quality set by our founder A.I. Root. Our beeswax is all domestically harvested and is filtered for purity. Many other companies bleach their beeswax, merely disguising impurities. Our clean-burning candles burn up to 30% longer because the impurities have been naturally removed. What is left is a beautiful wax color with a scent of honey. Our beeswax candles are not only longer burning than other companies’ product, but also are resistant to breakage in cold weather.
