The Benefits of Beeswax

Natural Air Purification

When beeswax burns, it releases negative ions into the air. These ions attach to positively charged particles like dust, pollen, mold, and allergens, causing them to fall out of circulation. Your tapers aren't just creating ambiance – they're actively helping to purify the air in your home.

Gentle Light for Natural Rhythms

Unlike the harsh blue light from LED bulbs and screens, the warm amber glow of candlelight doesn't disrupt your body's circadian rhythm. Lighting candles in the evening helps signal to your body that it's time to wind down, supporting better sleep and natural daily rhythms the way humans have experienced for thousands of years.

Clean, Beautiful Burn

Beeswax is one of the cleanest-burning waxes available. Unlike paraffin candles derived from petroleum, our pure beeswax burns slowly and cleanly, filling your space with the subtle, natural honey scent of real beeswax – no artificial fragrances needed.

Perfect for Every Room

Dining Tables

Create an intimate atmosphere for family dinners or special gatherings. The 10" height is ideal for standard taper holders, and pairs of tapers look beautiful flanking a centerpiece.

Mantels and Sideboards

Add warmth and elegance to living spaces with tapers that complement any decor style, from farmhouse to modern.

Anywhere You Gather

Whether it's morning coffee, evening reading, or family game night, candlelight makes everyday moments feel more special and intentional.

The Tradition of Taper Candles

For centuries, taper candles have been the symbol of hospitality, celebration, and peaceful evenings at home. There's something about their tall, elegant form and steady flame that creates instant ambiance. Our beeswax tapers help you reclaim this simple pleasure while offering benefits that synthetic candles can't match.

FAQs

How long do the 10" tapers burn?

Burn time varies based on conditions, but you can typically expect 8-10 hours per taper when burned properly.

Will these tapers drip?

When burned away from drafts with properly trimmed wicks, beeswax tapers are naturally dripless. However, drafts or improper wick length may cause dripping.

What's the difference between the color options?

Traditional tapers are the natural golden color of pure beeswax. The green and red options are naturally colored using herbal infusions – no synthetic dyes are ever used.

Do I need special candlestick holders?

Standard taper holders work perfectly. The base diameter of these tapers fits most traditional candlestick holders designed for 10" tapers.

Can I trim the tapers to fit shorter holders?

Yes! You can carefully trim the bottom of the taper with a sharp knife if you need a shorter candle. Save the trimmed wax for crafts or melting projects.

What should I do with leftover wax?

Save it! Leftover beeswax can be melted down to create new candles, used as natural wood polish, or saved for various craft projects. It's too valuable to throw away.

Why choose beeswax over paraffin candles?

Beeswax is natural, renewable, and burns cleaner than petroleum-based paraffin. It also releases beneficial negative ions and doesn't emit the toxins that paraffin candles can produce.

Do the herbal-infused colors have a scent?

No, the herbs are used purely for natural color. All three options have only the subtle, natural honey aroma of pure beeswax – no added fragrances.
