Hand-Dipped Beeswax Taper Candles - 1 Pair

Bluecorn beeswax taper candles are classic candlesticks: cotton wick dipped into pure molten beeswax at just the right temperature by a steady hand and a keen eye. These beeswax tapers are dipped and cooled over twenty times each before a pair can be cut free from the oak rack. When finished and hung, they carry the rich scent of honey and seem to hold light in their bellies. Kept out of drafts and away from fans our tapered beeswax candles will burn virtually dripless for about one hour per inch of length.

Beeswax Taper Features

• Super long burn time: 1 hr per inch
• Tapered beeswax candles made from 100% pure beeswax
• Paraffin-free & lead-free, non-toxic & hypoallergenic
  
• Perfect wedding candles or for celebrating the everyday 
• Colored tapers are dyed solid/ all the way through
• These are standard taper candles, they fit in the vast majority of candlestick holders. Beeswax is also wonderfully malleable. If your taper is a hair narrow, simply warm the base over a flame and the molten wax will secure the taper in place. If the taper candle is a touch wide, gently press and twist into place.

• To prevent dripping, keep away from open windows, fans or excessive airflow of any kind and place your hand behind flame when blowing out.
• Another trick to prevent dripping is to NOT trim the burnt wick before re-lighting! The long curled wick that you find should just be lit as is. Please note, this is different than all other candle styles that do benefit from regular wick trimming. 
• We have consciously chosen not to include chemical preservatives in these candles, which means that some of the lighter colors in particular may shift, subtly over time/ if exposed to sustained UV
• To minimize smoking use a snuffer to extinguish flame.
