Candles
Terralite
Candles made from organic coconut oil and rice bran wax, scented with “organic, wildcrafted, pure essential oils and extracts from plants that were grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers…Our hemp wicks contain absolutely no lead, are not chemically treated, and are braided with pure unbleached cotton.” All candles are white and come in many of the standard sizes. Choose from the scented “aromatherapy” collection or unscented “rice bran” collection.
GoodLight
Clean-burning palm oil candles, unscented and scented candles. Throughout the site, these candlemakers have a lot of information about toxic exposures to candles and their decision to make candles out of sustainable palm oil. They have an mission to replace toxic candles in public places (like churches and restaurants) with clean-burning candles, as well has offering a wide variety of palm oil candles in many shapes and sizes for home use. I tried these candles and they burn extremely well. The unscented candles do not have a scent.
Stick Candles
Unique handmade 100% beeswax candles—cast from sticks, twigs and branches. “We pour our candles one at a time. Originally made as a gift for mom…”The Candles that we are now able to cast, from shapes that we gather, strike me as beautiful and fascinating…when someone tells me about their experience with a candle that I made…It doesn’t point to me. It points to the shape of that cutting. Beauty in Nature.Wow : What Could Be Better Than That ?”
Big Dipper Wax Works
Lovely beeswax candles in many colors and shapes, handmade in small batches. “Most of the beeswax we use is collected from Northwest beekeepers, including British Columbia. The crops in this region rank lowest in exposure to pesticides in North America and is the highest quality beeswax available. Our colored beeswax candles are dyed with eco-friendly dyes that do not contain hazardous solvents or additives such as naphtha or naphthalene. All of our wicks are made of 100% cotton and have been primed with beeswax, not paraffin, which many other candle companies (even beeswax candle companies) use. All of our aromatherapy candles are scented with pure essential oils extracted through heat steam distillation or cold-press methods, which are the most natural ways to extract oil from plants.” Also beeswax blocks and bars and all natural body care products made with beeswax.
beeswax candle company
An elegant website, with pictures placing gorgeous 100% filtered beeswax candles in lovely settings. All the candles are hand-poured in a studio located in historic building on the edge of downtown Lynchburg, Virginia. Pillars, tapers, votives, and tealights join unique designs such as double spirals and the “honeylight” tapers–a hollow candle with a fluted edge that makes the candle appear to have a crown of light as it burns.“Our candles are made with 100% pure domestic beeswax and cotton or natural plant fiber wicks. Our beeswax is never bleached, but instead carefully filtered.”
Abigail’s Studio
Abigail makes candles out of beeswax—“A renewable resource,” she says, “As long as there are bees around us.” And so her mission is to save the bees. “How does burning beeswax candles have anything do with restoring bee populations all over the world? Well, if all the people who love burning candles switched to burning beeswax candles the demand for beeswax would dramatically increase. Wax would not be just a byproduct of honey production, but a major source of income for bee keepers. This economic benefit would stimulate the need for bees, which are the only natural source of wax. Beeswax candles are made from a natural renewable and sustainable resource that supports the cultivation of the honey bee.” Makes sense to me.
