NOT beeswax and NOT natural!

I bought these for my daughter because I was delighted with the natural beeswax colored pencils. However, when I brought them home, I noticed that they don't smell like beeswax, and the box says they were made in China, which isn't exactly known for beeswax production (to say the least). So I went to the manufacturer's website and found this ingredient list: Pencil Wax. Contains: Paraffin & Hydrocarbon Wax, Stearic Acid (Pure), Talc (Mg3H2(SiO3)4), Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Benzoamine (Oxidated), Vaseline, Beeswax, Distillates (Petroleum), Hydrotreated Light Paraffin, Synthetic Color. Most of these ingredients are petrochemicals, with beeswax being at the bottom of the list, right between petrolatum and petroleum distillates. This is extremely misleading labeling in my opinion!

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged
