100% Beeswax Votive Candle

Natural Air Purifier

Beeswax candles are known for their clean, toxin-free burn that doesn’t release harmful chemicals or produce soot. Beyond this, beeswax candles naturally emit negative ions as they burn, which bond with airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, and other particles, helping to neutralize them and improve indoor air quality. Our votive candle contains no artificial additives, so you can enjoy a purer, healthier environment. This makes it an ideal choice for those who value both air purification and a safer, toxin-free atmosphere in their home.

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.

Handcrafted with Care

Each of our votive candles is made with care on our family farm in Watertown, Minnesota. We are committed to sustainable practices and dedicated to producing high-quality beeswax products. Our candles reflect the beauty of nature and the craftsmanship we bring to every piece.

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 Wick Regularly

To maintain a steady flame and prevent soot buildup, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn. This helps ensure a cleaner, longer burn and reduces the chance of smoke or soot.

Avoid Drafts

Place your votive in a draft-free area for the most stable burn. Drafts can cause the flame to flicker, leading to uneven melting and a shorter burn time.

Allow the Wax to Melt Across the Surface

During the first burn, allow the candle to melt fully across the top layer to create an even “memory burn.” This helps prevent tunneling and ensures a smooth, complete burn for the life of the candle.
