This stunning little giftset comprises eight handmade Irish beeswax tealight candles in a beautiful little cotton bag. Hanna uses pure Irish beeswax and a braided cotton wick to make these candles.
Each one is carefully handcrafted in Cork using 100% pure beeswax. They are completely free of fragrance and the toxic substances found in many other candles. Hanna’s handmade beeswax tealight candles burn with a gentle flame and release a sweet, comforting scent of honey and beeswax.
Size: 37mm (Diameter) x 20mm (Height)
Directions for use:
Trim wick to 5mm before each use. Never leave a burning candle unattended and always burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface. For longer burn times, keep away from drafts. Take care to avoid touching or moving the candle while it is burning or if the wax is still hot. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Pure beeswax may develop a film, or bloom, which you can easily be remove by buffing with a soft cloth.
Burn time: 2-4 hours each.
Hanna keeps bees, and this entire range is essentially what comes of that — nothing invented for the shop, just what the hives actually produce, put to good use. Beeswax food wraps top the list, in various sizes (vegan wrap options too, for anyone skipping the bee products but wanting the same plastic-free result), plus a re-wax bar to bring a tired wrap back to life instead of binning it. The beeswax itself shows up again in candles — a beehive-shaped one, others poured into jars or as tealight refills — and in a leather conditioner and wood polish that do a genuinely better job than most shop-bought tins, because beeswax has been doing this job long before petroleum-based polish existed. Then there's the food side: raw Irish honey straight from the hive, unheated and unfiltered, plus Irish bee pollen for anyone into that sort of thing. A honey bee soap and a plain beeswax bar round it out. It's a small, coherent range built entirely around one insect doing an enormous amount of work — good for the eco-conscious kitchen, the shoe cupboard, and the toast, in roughly that order. Delivered across Ireland.
