Beeswax candles are the most natural candle you can burn in your home.

Burns very cleanly with a bright flame, very little smoke and hardly any drips.

Burn-time is up to twice as long as any other kind of candle.

Due to the handmade nature of these candles please allow for small variations in size.

Packaging:

Your beeswax candle will arrive packaged in a recyclable Kraft box ready for you to gift to a loved one.

More information on how we get our beeswax:

When we remove the surplus honey frames from our beehives at the end of the summer, the honeycomb has already been capped by the honeybees with a beautiful covering of beeswax to keep it clean and safe.

In order to extract the liquid honey from the frames we first remove the beeswax with a special knife and put the beeswax aside to melt down and clean at a later stage.

This beeswax needs to be melted and filtered a number of times to ensure that it is sufficiently clean to use for making beeswax wraps, candles or balm.

Time consuming but so rewarding to see the beautiful block of clean, fragrant beeswax at the end!

Burning instructions for your beeswax candle:

When you light your tapered beeswax candles for the first time it is recommended that you allow your wax melt and form a pool close to the edge of the candle before extinguishing.

This will form a wax wall and prevent tunnelling in subsequent burns.

As your candle burns lower bend the wax wall inwards (also called “hugging”) helping to contain the wax pool.

Keep the cotton wick trimmed to 5mm before each lighting.

Our beeswax candles are also available as part of a gift set in beautiful Kraft ribbed packaging along with our pure Irish honey and beeswax products.
