Please note that burn times are approximate and depend on the ambient conditions of the place the candles are lit and how the candles are conditioned during the first burn. Please see burning advice below.

Burning instructions for your beeswax candle:

When you light your Irish Beeswax Unity Candles for the first time it is recommended that you allow your wax melt and form a pool close to the edge of the candles before extinguishing.

This will form a wax wall and prevent tunnelling in subsequent burns and allow you to get the very best from your candles.

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

Keep the cotton wick trimmed to around 7mm before each lighting.

Ordering:

Please allow at least 1 week for your candles to be delivered as each set is carefully handmade to order. If you require your candles earlier please email us at [email protected] and we will do our utmost to get them to you on time!

Packaging:

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!
