How to choose

  • Pick your wax. Beeswax burns long and clean with a natural honey scent, soy holds fragrance well, and tallow-and-soy blends are a natural, slow-burning option.
  • Scented or unscented. Beeswax candles are usually unscented or lightly honey-scented, while soy tins carry essential-oil scents like bergamot and lavender.
  • Shape and setting. Tapers suit dinner tables, pillars and jars suit everyday use, and shaped beeswax candles work as decor or gifts.
  • Burn time. Larger pillars and jars burn longer, while tapers and tins are better for shorter, occasional use.
  • Gifting. A scented soy tin or a set of beeswax tapers makes an easy housewarming or hostess gift.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose beeswax candles? Beeswax burns slowly and cleanly with a naturally warm, subtle honey scent, and it is made by bees rather than from petroleum. Many people prefer it for its long burn and natural origin.

How do I make candles burn evenly and last longer? On the first burn, let the wax melt across the full surface to prevent tunneling, and trim the wick to about a quarter inch before each use to reduce soot and extend burn time.

What is the difference between soy and beeswax candles? Soy wax is plant-based and holds added fragrance well, while beeswax is made by bees, burns longer, and has a natural honey aroma. Both are alternatives to paraffin.

Are these candles natural? Many are made from natural waxes such as beeswax, soy, and tallow with essential-oil scents. Check the individual product page for the exact wax and ingredients.
