Ten handmade beeswax tealights and two refillable glass holders - this sustainably packaged set has everything you need to light up immediately :) A great souvenir/gift for anyone you want to introduce to sustainable tealight use :)
Tealights are THE everyday candles nowadays and can certainly be found in almost every household. It is all the more important to ensure that these tealights are sustainable. To avoid waste, they come without an aluminum casing - instead, they have a constantly reusable tealight glass. And as an alternative to conventional paraffin made from petroleum, various natural waxes are available.
We craft our beeswax tealights purely by hand in our candle manufactory. We exclusively use beeswax from German beekeeping circuits, for the well-being of bees and to support beekeeping as a traditional craft. To properly fix the wick, our tealights have a small aluminum base - unfortunately, this cannot be avoided if the little light is not to drown prematurely. Our tealights are poured by hand - minor deviations and irregularities are evidence of this and are a mark of quality :)

Regarding the use of beeswax tealights: These burn hotter than standard tealights due to the viscous nature of beeswax. Caution is advised when used in classic tealight warmers with a small distance, as this could cause sooting. Likewise, these little lights should not be used in very small lanterns, ceramic light objects, etc. They need a bit more oxygen to burn :)
We use our tealights in our tall incense burners with at least 8 cm distance and are very satisfied. Also in larger lanterns and open-top decorative glasses. By the way, you can also recycle the aluminum casings of commercially available tealights and insert our beeswax tealights, then they will fit perfectly into any standard tealight holder.
About beeswax:
Beeswax is a natural metabolic product of bees, which they use for honeycomb construction. Beeswax candles are therefore a natural product that should be used consciously and carefully. Pay attention to the origin of the wax, as this best supports the cycle. If you value beekeeper's wax that does not come from just anywhere, then buy from us :)
A fine, whitish layer on our beeswax candles is a sign of quality and no reason for complaint. The coating develops due to long storage and storage in cool rooms and is a sign that you are holding pure beeswax in your hands. When the candles warm up (in cozy homes :), the coating disappears by itself. It can also be removed by gently rubbing with a fine cloth.
Candles work with the element of fire, never leave them burning unattended and only use fireproof bases for them. For the initial burn, it is best to let the candle burn until the top wax pool has melted to the edge. If the candle ever smokes, it is recommended to trim the wick before lighting (carefully cut off the top, leaving at least 8 mm).
