These candles are hand-rolled in Yorkshire using nothing but sheets of 100% pure beeswax with a cotton wick.
Burning beeswax is said to improve and purify air quality as well as benefit those with asthma and environmental sensitivities.
Not only that, but these candles smell beautiful due to the natural aroma of honey and floral nectar (please note this is a subtle smell when the candle is lit).
Beeswax is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and burns 'clean' when done correctly.
Before purchasing and using our candles, please ensure you have read the candle safety information page, which can be found here.
Size
The pillar candle is just over 12cm tall and approx. 5.5cm in diameter. Size can vary slightly between candles due to them being handmade and also due to the possible variation between each batch of wax sheets.
Burn time
On average this candle burns for around 18 - 20 hours, as long as you look after it!
Colour and scent
The colour of beeswax can range from a pale cream to yellow to almost brown/gold, therefore the colour can vary from the picture.
The exact smell can also vary between batches but is always a delightful floral honey scent.
The beeswax we use for the rolled candles has been sourced in the UK and is of the highest quality.
Burning your candle
For safety (and to avoid mess) when using this candle you should use a candle plate or other suitable fire-proof flat surface. The candle may drip but this is often avoided by following the tips below/on the card which you will receive with the candle. Do not use an enclosed holder as it will get too hot and the candle walls may split or warp. Never leave lit candles unattended and do not allow them burn right down to the bottom.
How to make sure you get the most out of your candle
Make sure your candle is on a flat surface whilst lit.
Make sure the wick is trimmed to around 5mm before lighting. If your flame gets too tall or the wick has a build up of carbon at the end then extinguish the candle, trim the wick and relight.
Burn your candle for three - four hours at a time (too long means the candle may not burn evenly and not long enough can lead to tunnelling).
Rather than blowing your candle out, you should extinguish the candle by either pushing the wick into the melted wax and then ensuring the wick stands up straight again, or by using a snuffer.
Always retrim the wick to 5mm before relighting. You can use small scissors or nail clippers if you don’t have a wick trimmer.
If the candle is burning more on one side then make sure it's on a flat surface, make sure the wick is central, and make sure it's not in a draft.
‘Hug’ your candle by gently pushing the walls towards the centre once you’ve extinguished it.
These tips will help ensure you get the maximum burn time from your beeswax candle.
