Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle
Our natural beeswax candles are a wonderful alternative to paraffin and soy, as beeswax burns brighter and cleaner. This 100% beeswax rustic pillar is 2.8 inches in diameter by 3 inches or 5 inches tall. Burn time is 120 hours for the 5 inch and 65 hours for the 3" height.
We hand make all of our beeswax candles in Watertown, MN.
Please note: all of our pillar candles are designed to be burned free-standing, on a plate or saucer or similar holder. They are not meant to be placed in a tall, tight-fitting jar or glass holder, as this will reflect heat and affect the burn.

Benefits of the Rustic Beeswax Candle
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 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 Free-Standing
For the best performance, always burn your candle free-standing on a heat-resistant plate, saucer, or similar holder. Using a tight-fitting jar or glass holder can reflect heat back onto the candle, causing uneven melting and making the candle burn inefficiently. A free-standing setup allows for proper heat distribution, leading to a more even burn and a longer-lasting candle.
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.
