Sacred Elephant x Skär Organic Candles

All of our candles incorporate organic beeswax. We are partnered with Skär Organics who produce all our candles using Europe’s finest certified organic apiaries and our organic beeswax candles are certified organic by the Soil Association.

Our partners organic apiaries must meet very strict standards annually. For example,  a 6km diameter around the hive is required to be free from pesticides, main roads and waste sites. Harmful practices like the destruction of bees in the combs & mutilation of queen bees are strictly prohibited. They must be independently certified organic by one of their own countries approved organic certification bodies and satisfy annual inspections.

WHY CERTIFIED ORGANIC BEESWAX CANDLES?

Certified organic beeswax adheres to the highest standards of purity and sustainability. These standards govern every aspect of production, from hive location and materials to beekeeping practices, ensuring the wax is free from contaminants like pesticides.

Organic certification not only ensures the purest beeswax but also helps protect local ecology by fostering sustainable practices that benefit bees and their environment.

The result? The world’s finest, purest wax, perfect for candles that prioritise quality and environmental responsibility.

100% NATURAL

Beeswax candles offer countless benefits compared to alternatives like paraffin, soy wax, and rapeseed wax.

Beeswax is a truly natural product, produced by young worker honeybees. These bees consume honey and convert it into wax through a remarkable process within their bodies. Special glands on the underside of their abdomens secrete the wax as clear droplets, which harden into flakes when exposed to air.

In contrast, rapeseed and soy waxes are derived from vegetable oils through hydrogenation—a process that alters their chemical structure in ways that do not occur naturally. Paraffin wax, on the other hand, is a byproduct of petroleum refining, far removed from anything in nature.

 

A CLEANER, LONGER BURN

Beeswax candles burn cleanly, producing minimal soot and no harmful toxins, making them an excellent choice for a healthier indoor environment. Unlike other candles that may rely on chemical additives, beeswax candles are completely free of artificial substances, delivering a truly natural candle-burning experience.

Beeswax candles have the highest melting point of all candle waxes, which means they burn slower and last longer than alternatives.

When compared:

  • Soy wax: Burns 10-15% faster than beeswax.
  • Rapeseed wax: Burns 8-12% faster than beeswax.
  • Paraffin wax: Burns up to 30% faster than beeswax.

This longevity not only makes beeswax candles more cost-effective but also allows you to enjoy their warm, natural glow for much longer.

Choose beeswax for a healthier, longer-lasting, and eco-friendly candle experience.
