CANDLES

All Natural Artisan Beeswax Candles

At AKIRAM & CO., we are committed to crafting candles that elevate your home with warmth and ambiance. We have chosen beeswax, a natural and sustainable ingredient, for its remarkable ability to deliver a clean burn. Beeswax minimizes soot production and emits negative ions that actively neutralize pollutants, helping to create cleaner indoor air.

Our beeswax candles also support bee welfare. By sourcing our beeswax from ethical beekeepers, we actively contribute to the preservation of bee populations, ensuring their vital role in pollination and ecosystem health.

Our Ingredients

Hawaiian Beeswax

We source our beeswax from a multi-generational farm located on the Big Island of Hawaii. Committed to ethical beekeeping, the farm ensures the bees receive the utmost care, and their environment is managed as organically as possible.

We craft our beeswax candles with fair trade coconut oil, skillfully blending it with our beeswax. This unique beeswax-coconut oil blend ensures a smooth and consistent burn while enhancing the overall candle experience.

Frequently Asked Candle Questions

  • Our candles are handcrafted in Hawaii.

  • Our candles are all natural. Our unscented candles are made with just two ingredients: beeswax and organic coconut oil. For our scented candles, we use special blends of all-natural fragrance and essential oils.

    We take pride in our natural fragrances, free from phthalates, parabens, toxins, mutagens, and carcinogens. Using only nature-derived elements and avoiding synthetic additives, all our fragrances are ISO 9235 certified.

  • Candles typically encompass three distinct notes: the top, middle (or heart), and base notes.

    The top note represents the initial fragrance encountered when the candle is unlit or freshly lit.

    As the candle settles, the middle note, also known as the heart note, emerges to become the essence of the scent once the initial top note diminishes.

    After approximately an hour of burning, the base note unfolds, unveiling the deeper layers of the scent.

    The true essence of the candle stems from the harmonious blend of these middle and base notes.

  • Trim the Wick: Before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4" to prevent a large flame and ensure even burning.

    Burn to Melt Pool: Let the candle burn until it creates a complete melt pool to prevent tunneling (wax buildup along the edges).

    Limit Burn Time: Don't burn for over 4 hours to prevent overheating and quick burnout.

    Use a Safe Surface: Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface and avoid drafty areas. Never leave it unattended while burning.

  • Our 8oz beeswax candles offer a burn time of 45+ hours.

  • Cracking in beeswax candles is natural and harmless. It's caused by temperature changes and doesn't affect quality or performance but instead reflects the purity of the beeswax.
