100% Beeswax Candle 2.5" Pillar

Cleans the Air

When beeswax candles burn, they release negative ions that help neutralize airborne pollutants like dust and pollen. This natural air-purifying effect makes beeswax candles a great choice for those looking to improve indoor air quality.

Long Burn Time

Thanks to the high melting point of beeswax, our candles burn longer than those made from other waxes. The 2.5" pillar can burn for up to 80 hours for the 3" version and 150 hours for the 5" version, offering lasting light for your home.

Subtle Honey Fragrance

While our candles are not scented, they naturally give off a soft, honey-like aroma that adds warmth to any space. This natural fragrance is soothing without being overpowering.

Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic

Our beeswax candles are biodegradable and made from renewable resources. They burn cleanly without releasing harmful chemicals or soot, making them a healthier choice for both you and the environment.

Handcrafted with Care

Each candle is hand-poured at our farm in small batches, using beeswax that’s harvested from our hives. Our commitment to sustainability and quality ensures that every candle is made with care and attention to detail.

How to Use the 2.5" Beeswax Pillar Candle

For the best results with your 2.5" Beeswax Pillar Candle, follow these simple tips:

Trim the Candle Wick

Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. This helps keep the flame steady and reduces soot buildup for a cleaner, more efficient burn

Burn in a Draft-Free Area

Place the candle in a location free from drafts to prevent uneven burning. A stable environment helps the candle burn more efficiently and last longer.

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. This ensures an even burn throughout the candle’s life and prevents tunneling.
