Ivory and Natural beeswax candles can burn slightly differently- here's how to best care for each!

Beeswax candles are loved for their warm glow, clean burn, and subtle honey scent—but did you know that natural beeswax and ivory beeswax can burn a little differently? Both are 100% beeswax, but the slight differences in color and processing affect how they behave when lit. Here’s how to get the best burn from each:

Natural Beeswax (Golden-Toned):

• Burns slightly slower and warmer due to its natural oils.
  
• Allow the wax pool to reach the edges on the first burn to prevent tunneling.
  
• Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use to keep the flame steady.
  

Ivory Beeswax (Filtered & Creamy):

• Burns a little brighter and hotter because it has been more finely filtered.
  
• Watch for a quicker wax pool—don’t extinguish it too early.
  
• Keep wicks trimmed to prevent smoking.
  

✨ Pro Tip: No matter the shade, always burn your beeswax candle long enough on the first light to set its “memory.” This ensures an even, beautiful burn every time.

Both ivory and natural beeswax offer their own charm—natural brings a rustic, golden warmth while ivory adds an elegant, creamy glow. The care is simple, and the reward is a candle that lasts longer and shines brighter.
