Pure Beeswax Emergency Pillar Candles, 3.5 Inch, 9-11 Hour

Pure Beeswax Emergency Pillar Candles

A compact pillar in 100% pure beeswax, 1.3 inches across and 3.5 inches tall, made to be kept rather than displayed. It stands on its own flat base, so it needs no holder when the power goes out, and it stores for years without losing its shape. Each candle burns for about 9 to 11 hours at a time.

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.

Common questions

How long does each candle burn? About 9 to 11 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? No. A pillar stands on its own flat base, so it can sit straight on any heat-resistant surface. A plate or tray still helps to catch any wax.

Can I store them for a long time? Yes. Beeswax keeps its shape and its burn quality for years in a cool, dry place away from direct sun, which makes it a sensible candle to keep for an outage.

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.
