{100% Beeswax Candles. }


  • Nothing but wax and wick, each candle is made with natural, untreated cotton and ethically gathered beeswax sourced from local, family-run apiaries that honor the bees.


  • Your candles are made as portals to your downtime, a way to encourage the shift from doing into being. A small piece of the sun brought indoors, candlelight marks the transition from the activity of the day into our reflective hours.

    Light one when you open a book, prepare or share a meal, stretch to your favorite music, take a bath, or have no plans but to unwind.

    CARE & USE. Trim your wicks to ¼ inch before lighting, and allow the candle to reach a full melt pool whenever possible for an ideal, long-term burn.
