Citronella comes from the leaves and stems of lemongrass and has been known for millennia to have many wonderful properties, from repelling insects and fighting fungus, to calming pets and improving skin condition. Honey Candles® Citronella votive is infused with natural citronella oil that has been distilled from the citronella leaves, with a soft subtle scent that doesn't overwhelm the senses like many synthetic fragrances.

Essential oils are aromatic liquids extracted from plant parts that carry the plant's unique essence, as well as many of its healthy compounds. Honey Candles® line of essential votives are made with 100% pure beeswax, gently infused with natural and healthy essential oils, hand made in Canada. Using only safe and environmentally-friendly ingredients: no solvents, heavy metals, nor any other toxins commonly found in candles. We think you will appreciate the difference.

Tip: Beeswax votives are unique in that they are designed to fully liquefy as they burn. That means they need to be lit in a cup. Try a clear glass votive cup - you'll be pleasantly surprised at the ambient glow that it creates!

Did you know? All Honey Candles® beeswax candles are made with 100% cotton wicks, or cotton wicks with a paper twist. We do not use harmful lead or zinc cores! Best of all, wicks are pre-waxed for smooth, easy lighting.

Candle Size: 2" h x 1 1/2" d

Burn Time: 13-14 Hours

Our wicks contain absolutely no lead or other metals.

Do You Really Need A Review??

We’ve been purchasing Honey Candles for years and every order is a delight.

The aroma just from opening the box puts a smile on your face.

The pillars are great and we’ve come to really appreciate the citronella candles as well. They’re a must for those outdoor summer nights!

FAQs

How do you make your beeswax candles?

Our candles are all carefully handmade in small batches. Most candles are made by pouring liquid wax into molds but in some cases (such as Birthday, Gala, Hanukkah and Chakra candlesticks), the wick is dipped into wax until it reaches the desired size. Then they are cooled, trimmed, finished, labelled and boxed.

What are the benefits of beeswax?

Beeswax is all natural, it is the only natural candle wax that does not require dedicated land use! It is a by-product of the honey farming and food pollination and supports optimal food production. When compared to other waxes, beeswax naturally burns cleaner, brighter, hotter and longer than most choices and does not require chemical processing or additives to enhance these properties. With an inherently pleasant but gentle aroma, beeswax is the perfect choice for the eco-friendly home.

What do you use to color your beeswax?

We use very minute amounts of enviro dye to make our colored candles. Our dye is REACH compliant, vegetable based, not tested on animals, is solvent free and has no components listed on the California Prop 65 list.

Why are my natural beeswax candles different shades?

Beeswax comes off the honey frames in a variety of colors ranging from pale beige to dark caramel. The color of the wax is dependent on what the bees are foraging on at the time and changes with the season and location. Although we do our best to blend our wax to maintain consistency, beeswax is a natural product and colour variation should be expected and appreciated!

Why are my candles covered in a white film?

All 100% pure beeswax candles will develop bloom over time. This whitish film is an indicator of purity and is cherished by candle connoisseurs. Fully developed bloom will sparkle beautifully in the light and look like crystals or snowflakes. Many candle lovers like the look of fully bloomed candles, especially for Christmas. Beeswax candles that have been blended with other waxes will not develop bloom. If you prefer a polished look, simply buff with a soft cloth, nylon stockings or cheesecloth. You can also run a warm blow dryer over the candle.
