Our natural beeswax and tallow candles with wooden wicks offer an eco-friendly alternative to conventional candles. Beeswax provides a clean, long-lasting burn (twice that of other candle waxes) while naturally purifying the air with its subtle honey scent. Tallow, rendered right here on Solace Farm from either our own Scottish Highland cows or a friend-farmer’s Red Devon cattle, adds a rich, warm glow that complements the beeswax. Wooden wicks create a gentle crackling sound reminiscent of a cozy fireplace, enhancing the ambiance. Together, these ingredients produce a sustainable, non-toxic candle that promotes a calming, natural atmosphere in any space.
These 5 oz candles are 75% tallow and 25% beeswax, with your choice of fragrance or essential oil scent. You can also choose a wooden wick or standard cotton wick - I will default to the wooden one if you don’t choose one, which is made exclusively from American hardwood fruit trees.
These sustainable candles are poured in upcycled glass yogurt jars, that I have salvaged from the local glass recycling facility.
Beeswax is the longest-burning candle base there is, and tallow melts easily, so this combination is both long-lasting and will liquify to the rim and burn down cleanly, with proper burning. The wooden wick does need to be trimmed shorter than the usual cotton wick to burn well, if you have trouble with it not staying lit make sure it is well trimmed, to just above the burn line. Also, like many candles it burns down more evenly if burned for at least 1.5-2 hours at a time to allow the melt pool to reach the edges.
When you finish burning the candle, simply wash the jar in very hot soapy water and reuse it, or recycle it with your usual glass recycling.
