Why You'll Love Our Beeswax Candles

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.
Additional Details & Candle Safety

Candle Size
We hand pour and hand finish each of our beeswax pillar candles. The dimensions listed are an approximation and will vary slightly for each candle. Please consider each candle a work of art.
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.
General Candle Safety
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep candles away from children.
- Burn candles in a draft-free environment.
- Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4".
See Beeswax Candle Safety for more safety tips.
Pillar Burning Tips

We just started burning our new 4×9 pillar. It smells beautiful: mildly sweet, not at all overpowering or artificial. It is an elegant, noble-looking pillar. We have made a ceremony out of burning a candle when someone passes or when they are in our thoughts. This pillar is perfect for these special occasions.

I bought this candle (my first ever bees wax candle) after a friend suggested it for some allergy relief, and their lack of smoke. I followed the suggested tips on this website and “hugged” the pillar walls as it burned down, this candle is STILL burning strong. I burn a couple hours every morning. It has a beautiful light nature scent. I definitely can tell it really has helped my allergies as well as the fact I don’t get headaches like other scented wax candles tend to usually give me. I’m 100% a returning customer!

I really like these candles. The smell is great, no drips and I burn them day and night. I use candles a lot do to my photophobia around my house. I use 1 candle as a night light and these might be too bright of a flame. One of these candles fill the room with a nice glow. No more using 4 candles to light up a room.

Beautiful large solid beeswax candle (and that’s a lot of beeswax). Burns steadily and strongly and will do so for hours and hours. The wick is trimmed after each use. Also the gentle smell of honey permeates the area around the candle without overwhelming. I also love that the wax is organic, the bees well tended, and even the packaging all bio-degradable. We have it on the altar at our church. Don’t know about the aroma in a more closed space. All in all a fabulous choice. I am headed for a slightly smaller version to use at home.

I bought a holiday red pillar for my mantle for Christmas, looks wonderful! It burns for a long time, maybe needed 6 hours before I felt ok putting it out (didn’t want it to tunnel).
