“Read on the maker's own pages on 2026-10-26 (stockmar.de FAQ, wax-crayon page and monitoring-and-safety page). FAQ: "Our carefully developed formula contains approximately 10% beeswax"; the wax-crayon page says "Crystalline waxes act as a carrier for transparency and give the colours structure and gloss." The word "paraffin" does not appear on the pages we read, and the pigments are not named: the FAQ gives only the criteria for choosing them ("safety for use in toys, insolubility in the material to be coloured and in water"). The FAQ says the packaging carries the CE label and the quality marks "spiel gut" and "AP – conforms to ASTM D-4236, awarded by the American organization ACMI", that the products are "tested according to DIN EN 71", and that they are "suitable for ages 3 and up" because small parts are a choking hazard for under-3s. CHECKED AT THE CERTIFIER on 2026-10-26: the Art and Creative Materials Institute's certified-product search (members.acmiart.org/api/webservices/products, company "Hans Stockmar GmbH & Co. KG") lists "Stockmar Wachsfarben" under "Crayons, Molded" with seal type AP. The register row names the wax-crayon line, not this 8-block tin by SKU, and does not distinguish blocks from sticks. The Amazon listing (B0010XCT4G) is titled "Stockmar Beeswax Block Crayons, Set of 8", says "Made in Germany", and on 2026-10-26 was in stock from the seller Undersun Premium Suppliers at $20.80; stockmar.de has no US shop. A retailer listing we could not verify gave a different wax composition; we do not use it.”
