Confectioner’s glaze is a clear, all-natural coating used to protect the quality and taste of several Sunspire candy items. We use a very tiny amount (less than one tenth of 1% of any given item) to seal the candies from air and moisture. The confectioners glaze used on our confections is food-grade, wax-free natural “Lac.” Lac is the generic name of the natural resin gathered by the Lac beetle that thrives on various host trees and shrubs in India, Burma, Indochina, and Siam. The Lac beetle converts the sap of the trees into resin. It is very similar to a bee’s production of honey and is called “transferred nectar.” The Lac resin is collected, crushed, washed, dried, and made into pure food glaze. The Lac beetle is not harmed in any way.
