100% Beeswax Candle 2.8" Pillar

The 5" candle provides a burn time of 120 hours, while the 3" candle lasts for 65 hours. All of our beeswax candles for sale are handmade in Watertown, MN. Please note: all of our pillar candles are designed to be burned free-standing, on a plate or saucer or similar holder. They are not meant to be placed in a tall, tight-fitting jar or glass holder, as this will reflect heat and affect the burn. Beeswax Offers A Cleaner, Natural Candle for Your Home Sourced directly from our hives, these 100% pure beeswax candles bring a natural, soothing glow to your living spaces. Beeswax burns slowly and evenly, providing long-lasting candlelight without excess soot or harsh chemicals. Unlike paraffin and soy candles, beeswax contains no petroleum byproducts, synthetic fragrances, or chemical additives. Though unscented, each candle releases a light honey aroma that is naturally present in real beeswax. Clean-burning and gentle, beeswax is a healthier choice for your home and family, created through the remarkable work of our bees. Benefits of the 2.8" Beeswax Pillar Candle Our beeswax candles offer more than just a beautiful light source, they deliver a range of benefits for your home and well-being.

Subtle Honey Fragrance While unscented, the beeswax in our candles naturally emits a soft honey aroma, adding a warm, gentle fragrance to your space.

Tips on How to Use the 2.8 Inch Beeswax Pillar Candle Trim the Candle Wick Before relighting your candle, trim it to about 1/4 inch if needed. Keeping the wick properly trimmed helps maintain a steady flame, reduces soot, and ensures a clean, even burn so it lasts longer. Burn Free-Standing For the best performance, always burn your candle free-standing on a heat-resistant plate, saucer, or similar holder. Using a tight-fitting jar or glass holder can reflect heat back onto the candle, causing uneven melting and inefficient burning. Burn in a Draft-Free Area To ensure your candle burns evenly and lasts longer, always place it in a draft-free environment. Drafts can disrupt the flame, causing uneven wax melt and shortening burn time. Allow a Full Melt Pool During the first burn, let the candle burn long enough for the entire top layer of wax to melt and form a full melt pool. This prevents tunneling and ensures even burning for the remainder of the candle’s life.
