Tealights: 4-6hrs

Burning Directions:
Please follow the general burning instructions above in addition to the following. Burn our tealights for as little as a half an hour or up to six hours. They are sold in a recyclable aluminum container and are meant to burn in this container. Burning our tealights in any other way than recommended may cause them to burn improperly.




General Burning Directions:

Place candle on a fire proof surface and away from flammable items and remove the labels before lighting. Keep them out of reach of children and pets.

Cut wick to between 1/8 and 1/4 of an inch each time the candle is burned. Beeswax candles may take a bit longer to light for the very first time than other wax candles. To put out flame, dip the wick in the pool of wax quickly. This way, you avoid any unwanted smoke
. Keep candles out of a draft otherwise you may experience dripping and smoking.

Never leave a candle burning unattended.

Closely follow specific burning directions for each type of candle above to ensure safety and proper burn times.


Each candle is made of
100% Pure Beeswax
with a cotton wick.
