100% Pure Beeswax
We use only clean, lightly filtered, 100% pure beeswax from beeswax cappings in our beeswax candles, with no fillers or additives. Its non-toxic properties make it perfect for a clean burning and bright fuel source as a beeswax candle.
All of our beeswax is made in the USA.
Unlike paraffin candles, beeswax is hypo-allergenic, great for people with allergies or other sensitivities, and those of us who want a clean burning candle in our homes.
Hand Poured & Hand Finished
We craft all of our beeswax candles by hand. It takes an experienced hand to ensure each candle is perfect - we don't want any air bubbles, crooked wicks, or other imperfections. Each candle is inspected to ensure its quality. We have no "factory second" beeswax candles; if the candle doesn't make the grade, it goes right back into the wax melter.
Some candle makers will ship you their product directly after removing it from the mold where it is often unleveled, uneven, and simply unattractive. We've always taken the time to carefully hand finish each candle so that our beeswax candles are as stunning to look at as they are beautiful to burn.
Honey Scented
Our beeswax candles naturally give off a luscious honey aroma. Scent varies slightly based on honey, pollen, and propolis present in the beeswax.
A candle's scent throw (i.e. the candle's ability to deliver an aroma) varies based on personal sensitivities and environment.
Golden Colored
The raw beeswax we use comes from the hive as a light golden yellow color, which we call "Natural" when we refer to the candle's color. The natural color of beeswax is determined by the remaining pollen and propolis in the wax; this color varies a little between each batch.
Our naturally golden colored beeswax candles do not contain dyes.
Antique Look
Bloom is a white film that naturally appears on beeswax over time. Our colorful beeswax candles can be kept polished for a shiny modern look or let their age show by allowing the bloom to appear over time.
The bright color of beeswax is a great backdrop for showcasing the white antique finish of the bloom.
Smoke & Soot Free
Using clean burning beeswax candles is an excellent way to keep your home free of the smoke and soot that is a common result of burning paraffin candles.
When burned in a draft free environment with the wick trimmed to 1/4" a beeswax candle will burn bright and clean with virtually no smoke or soot.
Beeswax May Have Health Benefits
Negative ions are most commonly found near moving water, such as crashing waves, thunderstorms, and waterfalls. Negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.
While it is still debated and not yet scientifically proven, it is believed that there are other natural negative ion generators too, including our specialty, beeswax candles.

Naturally Drip Resistant
A beeswax candle is less likely to drip than other types of candles because of the complex molecular structure and higher melting point of beeswax. This allows the wick to burn the molten beeswax at just the right pace so it doesn't drip out of the wax pool. These qualities combined with a properly maintained wick, a level burning surface, and draft free environment will help prevent drips from occurring.
Beeswax candles are naturally drip resistant. Paraffin candles require chemical additives, like stearic acid, to make them drip less.
Candle Size
We hand pour all of our colonial beeswax taper candles. The dimensions listed are an approximation and will vary slightly for each candle. Please consider each candle a work of art. Our colonial tapers have an approximate base width of 7/8" and fit most standard size taper holders.
We make outstanding candles, but we are humans, not machines. Learn more about why candle size varies.
Burn Time
Burn time is a close approximation and will vary somewhat based on your environment and burning preferences. Our listed burning times are conservative averages, not a guarantee. Proper wick maintenance helps (keep wick trimmed, avoid drafts).
Some wax will remain unused after the wick has been fully burned, this is normal.

Last time I purchased candles, they were tapers. I thought I’d try something different, so I ordered the colonial style. I was a bit startled when I opened them and found they were much larger in height and diameter than I expected. Although they fit in my regular candle holders, they look out of proportion, so I am now on the hunt for some taller, chunkier candlesticks. Like all your candles, however, they are beautiful and burn well with no dripping. I just need to pay more attention to sizes when ordering!

Hy husband likes candlelight as his eyes have become light sensitive. We keep a candle on our dining table and our living room coffee table. We always keep a supply of these candles on hand and have been purchasing them for several years now. Excellent quality and a nice aroma. You do need to keep the wick trimmed as recommended or they will drip.

They were packaged well, had no damage, and have been burning satisfactorily. They fit into my candle holders well. I would buy again.

I have purchased 24 of these and have so far burned only 3 of which one did have a wandering wick. The amount of unburned wax left was easily used for a multitude of waxy solutions. I will be buying more of these or at least until the QC drops the ball to often. Their shipping & handling is excellent. Candles were received well protected and undamaged. Thank you for a well done product.

I really like your candles. They do not drip, have a lot of smoke or bad smell. These will be the only candles I will buy from now on.

These are the closest I’ve found to “light and forget” candles. If there is no draft they will not drip, tunnel or smoke and the 16″ size gives you the most wax for your money. Unfortunately, about 1 in 10 (2 of the 22 I’ve burned so far) has the wick off-center so that much of the wax ends up in a pretty, fragrant stalagmite. But for that, I’d rate them 5 stars.

Thanks for your input! We haven’t heard of this issue before, but we’ll review our taper process and make sure this doesn’t happen again.
