These sweet little skeps are our most popular candle. Beautiful and affordable, they weigh appx. 2.5 hounces and burn appx. 15 hours. The bottom is tabbed so there is usually a bit of wax left over which we advise you to keep around the house for stuck drawers, stuck zippers, etc. Beeswax is SO handy to have around the house.

Enjoy them for their beauty and purity, while knowing in your heart that you're doing something wonderful for yourself, your home and those around you.

Price is for one candle weighing appx. 2.5 oz.

Why Natural Beeswax Candles?

Beeswax candles actually clean the air, helping to reduce the pollutant and allergen load. How do they do this? The truth is, technology actually made candles worse for your health.. Many years ago, most candles were made out of beeswax. But over the centuries, beeswax candles were gradually replaced by tallow (animal fat) candles, and then in the last century by paraffin candles. Paraffin is made from the sludge at the bottom of crude oil, which is then treated and bleached with benzene and other chemical solvents to "clean it up" for use in candles. Paraffin candles put out soot and smoke when you burn them along with toxins and carcinogens. Breathing what paraffin candles give off has been compared to breathing diesel fumes. Allergy, sinus and asthma relief can be gained just from lighting a candle! Beeswax candles don't cause any of those problems. In fact, people with allergies, sinus problems, and asthma have reported significant improvement in their symptoms, breathing better and sleeping better after burning beeswax candles in their bedrooms for three to four hours before bedtime. One person who burned a beeswax candle all day when she was home reported that her asthma gradually went away completely. The science of it: Although scientists still don't know all the intricacies of the complex molecules in beeswax, there's at least a partial explanation for the healthful action of burning beeswax candles. Negative ions are nature's air purifiers, cleaning the air of dust, mold, bacteria. viruses, and other pollutants. And burning beeswax produces negative ions, actually to be exact beeswax candles produce just over 100,000 negative ion particles per one cc of air!
