100% Beeswax Candle 2.8" Pillar

Cleans the Air

When burned, beeswax candles release negative ions, which help neutralize airborne pollutants like dust and allergens. This natural air-purifying effect makes beeswax candles an excellent choice for those looking to improve indoor air quality.

Long Burn Time

Thanks to the high melting point of beeswax, our candles burn much longer than those made from paraffin or soy. The 2.8" pillar offers a generous burn time of up to 90 hours, providing lasting light and value for your home.

Subtle Honey Fragrance

While unscented, the beeswax in our candles naturally emits a soft honey aroma, adding a subtle yet comforting fragrance to your space. This gentle scent creates a warm atmosphere without overpowering your senses.

Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic

Made from renewable resources, our beeswax candles are fully biodegradable. They burn cleanly without releasing harmful toxins, making them a healthier option for both you and the environment. No soot or chemical residues—just pure, natural light.

Handcrafted with Care

At Ames Farm, we hand-pour each candle in small batches, using beeswax harvested directly from our hives. Every candle reflects our commitment to quality and sustainability, ensuring that you receive a product made with the highest level of craftsmanship.

How to Use the 2.8" Beeswax Pillar Candle

For the best performance from your 2.8" Beeswax Pillar Candle, follow these simple guidelines:

Trim the 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 enhances the candle's performance but also extends its life

Burn in a Draft-Free Area

To ensure your candle burns evenly and lasts longer, place it in a draft-free area. By minimizing drafts, you help the candle maintain a steady flame and prevent uneven melting.

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 and prevents tunneling throughout the candle’s lifespan.
