Handcrafted in small batches using traditional, artisanal methods, these Irish beeswax candles are made with care from start to finish. Each candle is poured by hand on our farm near Lough Derg in the west of Ireland, using locally sourced, natural beeswax and finished with a natural cotton wick for a steady, even burn. The result is a beautifully simple candle with an authentic farmhouse feel and a story rooted in place.
Beeswax candles are prized for their clean-burning qualities, making them a popular choice for eco-conscious homes. Unlike soya wax candles, beeswax does not require chemical processing to make it usable, remaining close to its natural state from hive to home. Its subtle, honey-like aroma is completely natural, offering a comforting sensory experience without synthetic fragrances or additives.
With their smooth finish and understated rustic charm, these beeswax candles from Ireland suit both modern and farmhouse interiors alike. Whether you’re styling a cosy corner, setting the mood for a gathering, or choosing a thoughtful sustainable gift, this box of three offers beauty with purpose. If you’re looking to buy beeswax candles online in Ireland that are truly natural, sustainable, and handmade, these pillars are a timeless choice.

You may notice a light white or cloudy film developing on the surface of your beeswax candle over time. This is known as bloom.
Bloom is a completely natural process and a sign of pure, high-quality beeswax. It occurs when natural wax crystals rise to the surface and does not affect how the candle burns.
If you prefer a polished look, bloom can be gently removed by:
Lightly buffing with a soft cloth
Briefly warming the surface with your hands
Many people choose to leave bloom as it is — a quiet mark of authenticity.

To enjoy your beeswax candle safely and to get the best burn:
Trim the wick to approximately 5–7 mm before each burn
Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface
Keep away from draughts for an even, steady flame
Allow the first burn to melt fully across the top to prevent tunnelling
Never leave a burning candle unattended
Keep out of reach of children and pets
Snuff the flame gently rather than blowing it out
With proper care, beeswax candles burn slowly, cleanly, and beautifully.
