Beeswax Candle Decorative Cylinder

Pure Tasmanian Beeswax Candle — Hand-Poured in Port Sorell

Most candles are made from paraffin — a petroleum byproduct that releases toxic compounds when burned. Our Decorative Cylinder candle is made from nothing but 100% pure beeswax, sourced directly from our own hives at Frogmouth Ponds in Port Sorell, Tasmania.

The result is a candle that burns cleaner, longer, and more beautifully than anything you’ll find on a supermarket shelf — with a warm, natural honey scent that comes from the wax itself, not added fragrance.

Why Beeswax Burns Better

• No toxins: Unlike paraffin or soy blends, pure beeswax releases no carcinogens or black soot when burned
• Natural ionising effect: Beeswax candles are known to emit negative ions when burning, which can help neutralise dust, pollen, and odours in the air
• Longer burn time: Beeswax has a higher melting point than paraffin or soy, meaning it burns significantly slower and lasts longer
• Natural scent: The subtle honey fragrance comes entirely from the wax — no synthetic fragrance oils added

Sourced From Our Own Hives

The beeswax used in every Frogmouth Ponds candle comes directly from our own hives in Port Sorell on Tasmania’s North West Coast. We use only the capping wax — the pure, unprocessed layer our bees seal over their honey — which gives our candles their distinctive warm golden colour and clean scent.

No imported wax. No blending. Just pure Tasmanian beeswax from our apiary to your home.

Candle Care

• Trim the wick to 6mm before each burn for the cleanest flame
• Allow the wax to melt to the edges on the first burn to prevent tunnelling
• Keep away from drafts for an even burn
• Never leave a burning candle unattended
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this 100% beeswax or a blend?
100% pure beeswax — no soy, paraffin, or coconut oil blending. What you burn is exactly what our bees made.

Does it have an added fragrance?
No. The honey scent comes entirely from the natural beeswax. We never add synthetic fragrance oils or essential oils.

Why is the colour slightly different between batches?
Natural beeswax colour varies depending on the season and which flowers our bees were foraging. Lighter wax typically comes from spring harvests, darker wax from summer. This variation is a sign of authenticity — not a quality issue.

Can I use this as a gift?
Absolutely. Our beeswax candles are a popular gift choice — we recommend pairing with a jar of Tasmanian honey and a Beeswax Lip Balm for a complete Tasmanian artisan gift set.
