  • Birthday Candles — 100% Pure Beeswax

    A Wish Come True. 
    Don't let drippy, fast burning, soot producing, petroleum-based, fragrance-infused candles spoil your celebration. 100% pure beeswax is naturally aromatic, infused with the sweet, subtle scent of honey. Non-toxic and non-allergenic beeswax candles burn clean—and soot free. What better way to celebrate a birthday than with healthy, non-toxic candles.

    Natural or Multi-Color packs include 12, 3" tall x 1/4" wide tapers; Multi-Color has three each of Red, Pumpkin, Moss and Teal. They can be used for multiple celebrations as they will burn bright for several minutes. As always, our wicks are made from 100% cotton and contain no lead or metal.

    WHAT'S GOOD?

    • Naturally dripless, smokeless, and burns clean
    • Burn brighter and longer than traditional paraffin candles
    • Non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, Non-allergenic
    • No petroleum, lead, or metal
    • Helps purify your air (see below); great for those with allergies, asthma, and upper respiratory issues
    • Wicks are 100% cotton and have been primed with beeswax (not paraffin) 
    • Supports sustainable beekeeping in the US
    • Natural process using no chemicals and very little energy, filtered via natural clay process that cleans the wax of impurities, yet allows the wax to retain its inherent color and aroma
    • Produced by hand in small batches in Seattle, Washington

    Paraffin wax candles (those cheapo grocery store candles) — which are known to give off harmful fumes such as toluene and benzene, both linked to lung cancer and asthma.

    Paraffin is a by-product of petroleum, a non-renewable resource.

    Soy candles — without getting into too much here (we'll do a blog post soon), many a soy candle is not 100% soy. Say what? Yep, it only has to be 51% soy to be labeled soy. What's in the other half? Paraffin. More often than not, they are colored and scented with toxic dyes and fragrances. Best to go with scentless candles.

    Wait, there's more: The problem with soy is most of it is genetically modified to say nothing of the clear cutting that happens to grow soy. Think Amazon Rain Forest. 

    Natural or Multi-Color packs include 12, 3" tall x 1/4" wide tapers; Multi-Color has three each of Red, Pumpkin, Moss and Teal. They can be used for multiple celebrations as they will burn bright for several minutes. 

    Beeswax burns clean and purifies the air at the same time! In addition to supporting sustainable beekeeping, the consumption of beeswax candles is also good for the air we breathe. Unlike paraffin candles, which are made with a petroleum-based wax, beeswax candles have a completely clean non-toxic burn and produce negative ions when burning. About Negative Ions: 

    These charged molecules are created when air molecules break apart because of sunlight, radiation, or the movement of air and water. The number of negative ions in an environment can vary greatly depending on the environment. For example, Yosemite Falls has approximately 100,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter as opposed to anywhere from a hundred to none in the average office or home.

    Negative ions relieve stress, boost energy and alertness levels, reduce the amount of dust mites and dander in the air, and they may help protect against airborne germs by attaching to positively charged ions that are holding other contaminants airborne.

    How do negative ions work? It is unknown exactly why negative ions affect the body in such a positive manner. Theories about how they work include:

    They cause a biochemical reaction that increases serotonin levels

    They increase the flow of oxygen to the brain

    They stimulate the pituitary gland, which regulates the endocrine glands including the adrenal and thyroid glands.

    INGREDIENTS
    All natural, biodegradable ingredients: These candles are made from locally sourced (Seattle, WA) 100% beeswax, which undergoes no chemical processing. Wicks are 100% cotton, primed with beeswax, not paraffin. 

    PACKAGING
    Small card stock made with post-consumer recycled paper products and soy based inks overlaps a small poly bag. We don't love the plastic part. The manufacturer is working on changing this. Until then, please recycle it where you recycle your plastic grocery bags
