Beeswax Candles | Handmade, Natural & Certified Organic

BEESWAX CANDLES

The UK’s first & only certified organic beeswax candles

Beeswax is nature’s oldest candle — unchanged, unhurried, elemental. At Skär Organics, our beeswax candles are made using Europe’s finest certified organic beeswax, sourced from apiaries where the bees roam landscapes untouched by pesticides, main roads, or waste.

All our candles begin with certified organic beeswax. It’s always at the heart of what we do. From there, each candle is crafted in small batches, using simple, considered materials chosen for their integrity and purpose.

When you choose our organic beeswax candles, you support more than your home. You support beekeepers working in rhythm with the land, preserving regenerative practices that honour both the bees and the ecosystems they sustain.

Organic Beeswax Candles

There are few things as enduring as beeswax. Made by bees alone, collected just as they create it.

At Skär Organics, every candle begins here — with raw, golden beeswax carrying the soft scent of honey and the quiet work of the hive. We take it gently, filtering only to remove traces of the hive itself. No refining. No processing. No alteration.

This is how candles have always been. Slow-burning. Clean. Honest.

When you choose our beeswax candles, you’re not just lighting a room. You are connecting to a craft older than memory. To the bees. To the beekeepers. To the land itself.

Beeswax Candles FAQs

Beeswax is nature’s own candle wax. Made by bees alone, collected just as they create it. It needs only gentle filtering to remove traces of the hive — no refining, no processing, no alteration.

Unlike soy, rapeseed, or paraffin wax — which require industrial intervention and chemical change — beeswax remains as it always has been. Pure. Unchanged.

This is what makes beeswax the only foundation for a truly natural candle.

It burns slower, cleaner, with no added fragrance or additives. Just the quiet glow of beeswax as the bees intended.

Pure beeswax carries its own quiet markers. A golden hue. A soft, honeyed scent. Over time, it may develop a delicate bloom — a fine, powdery coating that appears on the surface. This is a natural sign of purity, not a flaw.

To be certain, check the label carefully. Only candles marked “100% beeswax” can make that claim. Phrases like “beeswax blend” often mean the wax has been mixed with other materials.

For complete assurance, look for certified organic beeswax. It is the clearest standard of purity and integrity.

Yes — subtly. Pure beeswax carries the faint, natural scent of honey and the hive. It’s gentle, understated, and doesn’t overpower a space. There are no added organic aromas unless specified.

Yes. Our beeswax candles are a truly non-toxic option — made without synthetic fragrance, paraffin, or chemical additives. They burn cleanly with minimal soot when trimmed properly, making them safe for indoor use.

We use only certified organic beeswax, the purest form in the world. It’s sourced without pesticides or residues, and processed without bleach or solvents. A natural candle—crafted for clean air and peace of mind.

Certified organic beeswax is more than a mark of purity — it’s a sign of respect.

It means the bees are kept far from pesticides, roads, and industrial activity. It means no antibiotics, no forced feeding, no queen mutilation. It means the wax they make is tested, traced, and trusted.

But the story goes further. The apiaries we work with — often in the forested hills of Romania — rely on low-intervention beekeeping passed down through generations. These small producers don’t just harvest wax. They steward whole landscapes. Organic certification protects their ecosystems, sustains their way of life, and supports a rural economy rooted in natural rhythms.

When we choose organic beeswax, we preserve the conditions that make organic honey possible. We protect water, soil, and air. We allow wildflowers to thrive. We give pollinators space to work undisturbed.

And the result — held in your hand — is a candle made with integrity from start to finish. A small light that honours the hive, the land, and the quiet labour of those who keep them both.

Beeswax has the highest melting point of all candle waxes. It burns slowly and steadily, often outlasting soy, rapeseed, or paraffin candles by up to 30%. A pure beeswax candle is made to endure.
