Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle

Natural Air Purifier

Beeswax candles emit negative ions when burned. These ions attract positively charged particles like dust, pollen, and smoke, helping to neutralize them and leave your air cleaner and fresher. Perfect for anyone looking to improve indoor air quality naturally, beeswax candles are especially beneficial in rooms with limited airflow or where dust and allergens tend to accumulate.

Long, Consistent Burn

Unlike other candles, beeswax has a high melting point, meaning it burns longer and more evenly. The 3" pillar provides up to 65 hours of steady, natural light, while the 5" option offers up to 120 hours. This extended burn time gives you maximum value, reducing the need to replace candles as often and allowing you to enjoy its light and subtle scent for days.

Subtle Honey Fragrance

One of the most beloved features of beeswax is its natural aroma, which subtly fills the room with a gentle honey scent as it burns. This fragrance is delicate, never overpowering, and doesn’t rely on artificial additives. Ideal for relaxation, the soft honey scent adds a cozy, calming touch to any setting.

Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic

Beeswax is a renewable, biodegradable resource, unlike paraffin, which is derived from petroleum. Our beeswax candles contain no synthetic dyes, artificial fragrances, or harmful chemicals, ensuring a clean burn that won’t pollute your indoor air. Choosing beeswax candles means making an environmentally conscious choice that supports sustainability.

Handcrafted with Care

Every Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle is made by hand in small batches at our family farm in Watertown, MN. With each pour, we ensure the highest quality, creating a unique candle crafted with dedication to sustainable farming and beekeeping practices. Each candle reflects the flora of Minnesota, thanks to the bees that pollinate the surrounding environment.

How to Use the Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle for Optimal Performance

To make the most of your Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle, here are a few tips to ensure it lasts and burns beautifully.

Trim the Candle Wick

Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch to keep the flame steady and prevent soot buildup. Regular trimming not only enhances the candle’s performance but extends its burn time, making it a better value in the long run.

Avoid Drafts

Place the candle in a draft-free area to maintain a steady flame and prevent uneven melting. This will allow your candle to burn evenly, preventing issues like tunneling and wasted wax, and allowing you to enjoy the candle’s full potential.

Allow a Full Melt Pool

On the initial burn, let the candle burn long enough for the entire top layer of wax to melt. This creates a “memory” for the wax and ensures an even burn for the life of the candle. Without this full melt pool, candles are prone to “tunneling,” where only the center wax melts, reducing the lifespan of the candle.
