Each candle is handcrafted in small batches on our farm near Lough Derg in the west of Ireland, using traditional, artisanal techniques passed down through generations of beekeeping and candle making. Made from locally sourced beeswax and finished with a natural cotton wick, this Irish beeswax candle burns steadily and evenly, preserving the integrity of the wax and its beautiful natural colour.
Naturally clean-burning, beeswax candles are a favourite among eco-conscious homes seeking a more natural alternative. Unlike soya wax candles, beeswax does not require chemical processing to become usable wax, remaining close to its original form from hive to home. Its subtle, honeyed aroma is entirely natural, creating a gentle ambience without synthetic fragrances or additives.
With its smooth finish and rustic farmhouse charm, this large beeswax pillar candle suits both contemporary and country interiors. Whether placed as a centrepiece, styled on a mantle, or enjoyed during slow evenings at home, it offers beauty with purpose. For those looking to buy beeswax candles online in Ireland that are handcrafted, sustainable, and rooted in place, this 11cm pillar is a truly enduring 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.
