Benefits of the 100% Beeswax Votive Candle
Long, Consistent Burn
Each votive offers approximately 18 hours of burn time, making it perfect for both everyday use and special occasions. The high melting point of beeswax results in a slow, consistent burn that maximizes the candle’s longevity. This steady burn rate means you can enjoy a warm, natural glow for extended periods without frequent replacements. Plus, beeswax candles maintain their structure longer, ensuring an even, drip-free experience when used properly.
Subtle Honey Fragrance
Our beeswax votive candle offers a gentle, natural honey fragrance derived from the beeswax itself, without the need for added scents or chemicals. This soft aroma is a by-product of the floral nectar gathered by the bees, giving the candle an authentic, delicate scent that’s both calming and inviting. Unlike artificial fragrances, the honey aroma is subtle, creating a warm and cozy ambiance that enhances relaxation and adds a comforting touch to any room without overwhelming the senses.
Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic
Our beeswax votive candles are made from 100% natural, renewable resources and are biodegradable. Unlike paraffin candles, which contain petroleum-based ingredients, beeswax is a sustainable choice that supports both your health and the environment.

How to Use the 100% Beeswax Votive Candle for Optimal Performance
For the best experience with your beeswax votive, follow these usage tips:
Trim the Candle Wick
Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps maintain a steady flame, reduces soot buildup, and ensures a cleaner burn. Regular trimming not only improves the candle's performance but also extends its life. The cotton wick is designed to match the candle’s diameter, promoting an optimal burn and preventing common issues like tunneling, wax spillage, and wick drowning.
Burn in a Votive Holder
For optimal performance, always burn your beeswax votive candle in the recommended votive holder. Unlike free-standing pillar candles, votives are designed to work in votice holder, which helps to direct heat to the wick and ensures an even burn. We recommend our votive holders which are designed to allows the candle to burn efficiently and prevents uneven melting.
Burn in a Draft-Free Area
To ensure your candle burns evenly and lasts longer, always place it in a draft-free area. Drafts can disrupt the flame, causing the candle to burn unevenly and waste wax. When exposed to air currents, the flame can flicker and cause the wax to melt at different rates. Keeping your candle in a stable, draft-free environment helps maintain a steady flame and promotes even wax distribution.
Allow a Full Melt Pool
During the first burn, allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire top layer of wax to melt and form a full melt pool. This helps prevent tunneling, which can shorten the life of your candle. A full melt pool ensures an even burn for the remainder of the candle’s life, allowing all of the wax to melt evenly and reducing the chances of uneven burn marks.
