Slate Beeswax Pillar Candle

A soft white powder called “bloom” forms naturally over time from oils crystalizing on the surface of the wax and is the sign of a high-quality, pure beeswax candle. If you wish to remove bloom, gently wipe with a soft cloth.

This pillar candle should be burned for 3–4 hours at a time to prevent tunneling and is designed to form a thin mantle that slowly melts into itself as the flame burns down. A good rule of thumb is 1 hour per 1" diamerter.

Burn pillar candles on a level surface so the flame hits the sides of the candle evenly. Avoid drafts that blow the flame repeatedly to one side. If burning multiple candles together on a plate, take care to space candles apart so excess heat is not trapped between them, which can cause one side to melt faster.
