Description
Our 100% pure beeswax votive candles, like other traditional votives, are made to become molten and fill their container. To achieve the best results, burn inside a holder which fits the candle snugly (we recommend these).
Using the proper votive candle holders, you can expect our beeswax votives to burn for about 12 hours each, making them a great bang for your buck.
Votive candles are also excellent for big celebrations where you want a lot of scattered candlelight suffusing the space with glow and the subtle scent of pure beeswax. Votives make great wedding candles, which is why we sell both votive candles and glass votive holders at such great bulk discounts.

- All votives should be burned in a votive candle holder just wide enough to fit the candle and no larger. Votives are designed to develop a molten pool which fills the container. Using too wide a container will allow the beeswax to spread out and go unburned, radically shortening the overall burn time.
-
When a votive candle is towards the end of its life (~1/2” left) let it burn till it goes out. This will lengthen the overall burn time and reduce or eliminate unburned wax left in your holder. Burned in this fashion in a snug candle holder, our votives often leave nothing but the wick clip — it's why they're a favorite amongst our most loyal customers!
- If you do have remaining beeswax in your holder after a burn, it is best to heat the holder in an oven at roughly 160 degrees for a few minutes and then wipe clean with a paper towel. You can also try warming the beeswax with a hairdryer and wiping clean.
