100% Beeswax Votive Candle
Our standard flat-topped, votive candle is made from 100% beeswax and has cotton wick. This beeswax candle will burn toxin free for approximately 18 hours and fits most standard straight cylinder votive holders.
We designed this votive to burn only in a straight glass cylinder votive holder in order to use the reflected heat to make the candle burn correctly.
This votive is not intended to be burned as a free standing candle in a tapered candle holder or on a flat plate. See photo of the correct votive glass on this page.
The dimensions are 1 5/8 inch diameter on top tapered down to 1 3/8 inches on bottom by 1 7/8 inches in height.

Benefits of the 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.
Versatile Uses for the 100% Beeswax Votive Candle
Our 100% Beeswax Votive Candle is a versatile choice for various settings, bringing warmth and elegance to any environment. Its compact size and long burn time make it perfect for creating ambient lighting for intimate gatherings, enhancing meditation or relaxation spaces, and adding a cozy glow to bedrooms, bathrooms, or dining areas. Whether you’re setting the mood for a special event or adding a natural touch to your daily space, this votive candle is a great way to bring the soothing presence of beeswax into your home.
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.

They smell wonderful and are so affordable compared to other companies. They burn bright and are well poured. I only tried 4 but will be back to order more.
Recently purchased a couple cases of these candles along with some of the larger candles and they all burn evenly and slowly and have a nice scent, but not too strong. After researching a few different candles, we came down to this being the winner in terms of burn time per dollar spent. These are a great deal and I highly recommend them if you are looking for good candles that will last. Shipping was also quick and their customer chat was responsive when answering my questions. Thank you, Ames Farm for fantastic American-small-business made candles. I look forward to my next order and supporting you in the future. (also, the free sample of honey was great and went very nicely with some Earl Grey)
The Ames Farm beeswax votives burn slowly and evenly. They're top quality - everything was packaged very securely and shipped promptly.
Love these candles!
Great service. Beautiful candles. They burn just as they are described. Smell lovely.
