Introducing our Ivory Beeswax Tapers - Set of 2 tapers.  These elegant candles are hand-dipped in up to 20 coats of naturally filtered beeswax. With cotton wicks, they burn cleanly and evenly, filling your home with a warm, honeyed glow. Perfect for adding a natural and non-toxic touch of sophistication to any setting. 12" x 7/8" Burns up to 12 hours. Performance: Our pure beeswax taper candles are designed to be dripless. However, like pillars, any form of draft will cause the candle to drip and burn down much faster. To prevent dripping, keep away from open windows, fans, or excessive airflow of any kind, and make sure that the candles are set up straight up and down.  Taper candles may not need trimming each burn.  Trim as needed to maintain about ¼-½” wick height.  Too short a wick may also lead to drips. Extinguish and trim the wick if the end of the wick is producing ash. Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the candle flame mess-free, by removing the oxygen, making sure not to touch the candle or wick with the snuffer, which could weaken the side wall causing it to drip later. With time, these pure beeswax candles will "bloom". This is your guarantee that we use pure beeswax to make our candles. Wipe with a soft cloth or warm with a hair dryer to restore the natural shine.  Warning: Keep burning candle sheltered from drafts. Burn within sight, and away from flammable objects. Keep away from children.
