Tallow & Beeswax Taper Candles

Goodbye petroleum based paraffin waxes that release toxic chemicals. Hello pure sheep tallow and beeswax tapers hand poured in a 19th century tin. I learned how to make these candles in the Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and they are stunning. 

Why you’ll love sheep tallow and beeswax candles: 

• Sheep tallow is softer than beeswax but it burns slower. These 10” tapers have a 12 hour burn time! 

• Burning beeswax produces negative ions that bind to dust, pet dander, mold spores, and odors, and cause them to drop out of the air. 

• Bright, warm glow- The flame closely resembles natural sunlight, creating a soft and soothing ambiance.

Sourcing: The tallow in these candles are from our friends’ flocks of sheep: Greywether Icelandics and Aurora Spinnery’s flock of Merino sheep. The beeswax is from our neighbors, West Meadow Apiaries. These candles started out as sunshine and flower nectar turned into  beeswax and tallow by our friends the bees and the sheep.

Ingredients: Pure sheep tallow and beeswax.
