Why choose beeswax candles?

Continuing the centuries-old craft of beeswax candle making, we hand pour our candles, using only the finest beeswax derived from the South Island. Our candles use sustainable and cruelty-free beeswax and lead-free cotton wicks, making them perfect for anyone’s home. Beeswax is a dense substance, meaning that it doesn’t require any hardeners, additives, or chemical treatments to make a quality product - and comes with it's own beautiful, soft scent of nature.

No two batches of candles are the same, often varying in colour from a pale gold to a rich, warm yellow depending on what flowers the bees were pollinating. If your candle gets a white powder effect, that indicates the purity of it - called blooming.

Beeswax candles emit the warmest light, burning one at night helps to produce melatonin in the brain, helping to settling our minds and bodies before bed. **Always blow out before you go to sleep or leave a room.

Everyday Self Candles provide premium, non-toxic products that everybody can enjoy. Our native New Zealand beeswax candles are clean, green, and gentle on the nose. 

The gorgeous golden colour make them a stunning home interior ornament that goes with anything. Once lit, they really do makes your house feel like a home.
