About Beeswax Candles
Our beeswax is all-natural, and does not benefit from the chemical additives that “big name” candle producers use to produce a predictable burn. Therefore, the beeswax candle-maker relies on the art of selecting the proper wick out of hundreds of possible options, and by following proper candle-burning “hygiene.”
All candles require maintenance while burning, in order to minimize smoke and to ensure the best and safest candle experience possible.
At Superior Dry Goods, we spend months testing wicks for our candles, and have chosen what we believe to be the best wicking options for our beeswax container candles. We hope you enjoy these natural creations.
How to Burn a Beeswax Candle
- Trim the wick to 1/8”-1/4” before each and every burn. This is extremely important for beeswax, which burns hotter than soy or synthetic waxes.
- Trim the wick if you notice nuisance amounts of smoke. This may be approximately every 1.5 to 3 hours. Sometimes, immediately after lighting a trimmed wick, it is necessary to blow it out and re-trim it. It is highly suggested to maintain the height of the wick at 1/8” inch if smoking becomes noticeable.
- Wicks should stand straight. If your wick is leaning toward one side, use a non-flammable object to gently push the wick upright. Failure to center your wick may result in tunneling, or an uneven burn pattern within the container. Be sure that the wick is warm or burning when you gently push it up, so that the wick does not break.
- Follow proper candle-burning safety. A few examples of candle safety are as follows: do not burn near flammable objects, do not burn in a drafty room, only burn when an adult is present, do not handle or move burning candle containers, protect surfaces that may become damaged by a hot candle sitting on them, etc. There is a candle safety sticker on our candles. Please follow the guidelines on the sticker.
- Avoid burning your candle for more than four hours at a time. After 4 hours, please put out the flame and let the wax cool before trimming the wick and re-lighting. Burning longer than 4 hours may result in a hot container.
- For best results, do not burn a beeswax candle for less time than it takes to create a wax pool that approaches or reaches the walls of the container. Too short of burns can create tunnelling, and the candle is unlikely to perform optimally in these circumstances.
