Pure Handmade Beeswax Candles 20cm x 2cm

Our quality, British, hand-rolled 100% natural beeswax candles have been made using self-trim, lead-free 100% cotton wicks making them drip free. They are a pure, natural product made from pollen-rich beeswax giving them a lovely yellow colour and subtle honey scent.

When honey bees make their wax, it's usually an off-white colour, the beautiful golden hue and scent comes from the honey, nectar and pollen which get mixed in during the honey harvest and processing, all of which give them a completely natural scent and colour.

Beeswax candles naturally emit negative ions. This process binds dust, odour and allergen particles together in the air, making them too heavy to float around and pulling them to the ground where they can be easily swept up and never find their way into your lungs and sinuses. This especially makes beeswax the ultimate burn for anyone with asthma, allergies or sensitive sinuses.

As pure beeswax candles are all natural, they do not produce toxic by-products and heavy soot when lit. Some candles produce minute traces of chemicals known to be carcinogenic as they contain petrochemicals which can be harmful when breathing in for long periods of time.

Beeswax candles have the brightest, purest light of any candles and are closest to natural sunlight. If the candles are to be used as a light source, this can help minimize eye strain and reduce headaches.

Each pair is carefully wrapped in our branded tissue paper.

Size: 20cm long x 2cm wide

Weight: (25g)

Burn time: approx 3 hours 

Burns cleanly with minimal soot or smoke, because it’s made from 100% beeswax.

Produces a soft, natural honey-like aroma without added fragrance.

Burns longer than many standard candles, due to beeswax’s higher melting point and density.

Hypoallergenic and better for indoor air quality than many paraffin or synthetic wax alternatives.

Offers a warm, bright glow close to daylight quality light, making it gentle on the eyes.

Use as a classic taper candle in candle holders for dinners, ambient lighting, or ritual settings.

Burn in sessions of 1–2 hours initially so the wax melts evenly across the top.

Always place on a stable, heatproof base; trim wick to ~3–4 mm before each lighting.

Avoid drafts or breezes, which can cause flickering or uneven burn.

Extinguish by dipping the wick into melted wax (then straightening) to reduce smoke.
