Pure Beeswax Votive Candles, 1.4 x 2 Inch, 9 Hour Burn

Pure Beeswax Votive Candles, 1.4 x 2 Inch

A column votive in 100% pure beeswax: 1.4 inches across and 2 inches tall, straight sided with a flat top, so it stands level in a votive cup and lines up neatly in rows when several are lit together. Each candle burns for about 9 hours.

We work from honey cappings, the thin layer of wax that seals ripened honey, and follow a traditional water bath method: the wax is filtered, left to cool on its own and poured by hand. No additives, no artificial fragrance, no chemical dyes, only the faint natural scent of beeswax. A light frost-like bloom on the surface is a hallmark of pure beeswax, not a defect.

Sold in 6 and 12 packs, in Natural and Cream White. Choose your colour and pack size above; every pack holds the same candle.

• Set each votive in a votive holder or on a heat-resistant plate

• Let the holder cool completely before you move or replace a candle

Common questions

How long does each candle burn? About 9 hours in still air with the wick trimmed. Draught, room temperature and how long you burn it each time all change the total.

Do they need a holder? Yes. At 2 inches tall a votive sits best in a votive cup or on a heat-resistant plate, which also catches the melted wax.

Are they scented? No. They are unscented, with no added fragrance, only the faint natural scent of beeswax.

Will they drip? In still air with the wick trimmed they burn without dripping. A draught can pull the flame to one side, which is when wax runs.

What is the difference between Natural and Cream White? The same pure beeswax, with no dye added to either. Natural keeps the honey-gold tone of the wax, and Cream White is the lighter tone.
