Everyday: “I’ve Got Wood, Honeysuckle”
Everyday: “I’ve Got Wood, Honeysuckle”
Oh my goodness, get your mind out of the gutter - I'm talking wood wicks and wood lids of course! Hahahaha. Anyhoo...my all time favorite smell of spring is when honeysuckle is in full bloom. I remember as a kid spending so many days pulling apart the flowers to taste the one sweet drop of nectar you can get from each blossom. That memory is the first thing I think of every spring when I'm driving with the windows down, on some back road and that sweet smell of honeysuckle is in the air...soooo good. If Wood + Honey had a signature scent, you can bet this would be it!
About our Beeswax Candles
About our Beeswax Candles
About Wood + Honey Beeswax Candles -
- Each candle is hand poured and handcrafted from start to finish.
- Made from 100% pure beeswax that has been filtered without harsh chemicals or bleaches.
- Our beeswax is sustainably sourced from a 4th generation beekeeper family who is passionate about bee health and preservation.
- Our 100% pure beeswax is free from chemicals, additives, and impurities to create the most amazing base for our candles.
- Because beeswax is such a hard wax and typically struggles to burn well in vessels, we blend our pure beeswax, with a smidge of beeswax cocoa cream - a completely toxin-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, gluten-free wax, that allows the 100% pure beeswax to soften just enough, to burn beautifully in our vessels and avoid tunneling.
- Wood wicks come from untreated natural wood with lead free bases.
- All of our candles are scented with toxin-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, gluten-free, skin-safe, and cruelty-free (leaping bunny compliant) fragrance oils.
- Free from all the ingredients found on California Prop 65 list while also avoiding 5 main hazard groups to include: Carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxins and acute toxins.
Feel free to check out our FAQs for more information.
We are proud to offer candles that are non-toxic and free from all of the above mentioned “nasties” that we want to avoid. Nothing but the cleanest burn for you and yours.
Recommended Burning Instructions
Recommended Burning Instructions
- Beeswax is a very hard wax and burns very hot and slow. These candles should last you for a while.
- Wood wick is cut to appropriate height when new. Make sure the wick is kept to about a 1/4" before lighting. Too high and the flame can get smokey and a little wild, too low and it may suffocate in the pool of wax.
- Before relighting your candle each time, be sure to break off some of the previously burnt wick. This will help prevent smoking and assist in ideal flame height.
- It is not uncommon to hear a soft crackling sound while burning, which is why wood wicks are so cool.
- Recommended burn time of at least 2 to 3 hours to avoid tunneling.
- Tunneling may occur initially until a big enough wax pool is made, and the glass begins to warm.
- Cracking in the wax near the wick is common due to the fast cooling time and hard nature of beeswax.
- Be patient when lighting. DO NOT extinguish with water.
- DO NOT replace lid until candle has cooled completely.
- DO NOT BURN FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS AT A TIME.
- Discontinue use if glass is broken or cracked.
- DO NOT BURN when candle has a 1/2" of wax or less.
