Guess I'm curious now as to why we want such pure wax.   If we can use the wax from our cappings which is mostly agchem free for our foundation, why would we want completely pure wax?   When the agchems in the wax are burned, as in candles, are we the comsumers of the candles needing to be concerned of the byproducts of the miniscule amounts of the byproducts of the burned agchems?   Do we as consumers of beeswax used in lip balms, salves, and lotions, need to be concerned about these small amounts of contaminants in the beeswax?
