    Choosing beeswax is a return to something proven, honest, and beautifully simple.

  • 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.
