Beeswax Pillar Candles:
With a burn time of around 12 hours, these natural Beeswax Candles will be a beautiful complement to every special occasion for many celebrations to come. The Chittering Candle Company’s Beeswax Candles burn brightly without leaving a dripping, toxic mess.
Made entirely from West Australian Beeswax and individually hand rolled, every candle is a little bit unique. Naturally scented with honey and floral nectar, these Candles contain no artificial scents and emit negative ions to purify, cleanse and improve air quality. With the highest melting point of all known waxes, WA Beeswax Candles give a burn time up to 5 times longer than alternatives and burn very cleanly with little smoke when wicks are properly trimmed. The little that remains at the candle’s end of life is fully compostable.
While they may be more expensive than supermarket alternatives, the environmental and health benefits and extended burn time of these Beeswax Candles makes them the obvious choice for the eco-friendly home.
Available in pairs.
Each candle measures approximately 21 x 2.5 cm.

Western Australian honeybee colonies are among the last populations in the world to remain unaffected by pests and diseases like the small hive beetle and varroa mite. WA beeswax is free from nasties like oxalic acid residue, pesticides and antibiotics. The absence of disease and chemicals make WA beeswax one of the purest in the world.
Why Choose Beeswax Candles?
Most commercially produced candles are made with paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum oil and may produce harmful byproducts when burned or melted. Paraffin is not particularly eco-friendly and has been known to have adverse effects on our respiratory systems.
Soy-based candles can come with their own problems too. Most soy is grown from genetically modified beans with extensive use of chemicals and pesticides, and these may remain present after processing. Most soy candles also include palm oil.
Western Australian Beeswax is:
- environmentally friendly, safe and non-toxic
- burns exceptionally clean with little smoke when trimmed properly, as it is not an oil-based product.
- 100% natural and biodegradable, and undergoes no chemical processing
- the only candle wax that emits negative ions to purify, cleanse and improve air quality
- beautifully and naturally scented by honey and floral nectar in the honeycomb
- hypo-allergenic and beneficial to those with environmental allergies, sensitivities and asthma
- a renewable fuel
- free from toxic Toluene and Benzene fume emissions, unlike some paraffin waxes
The Chittering Candle Company
The Chittering Candle Company is the brainchild of the multi-talented Rocket (aka Rodney) who, together with his family, left the hustle and bustle of Perth for the delights of the Chittering Valley in an effort to find a balance between Nature and the modern world. On discovering that most candles are made abroad using highly processed methods with the addition of chemicals and synthetic perfumes, they were inspired to use sustainable methods to create healthier, better quality candles themselves.
Not only is Rocket an expert candle maker – he has recently created the gorgeous new shelving and display units you’ll see when you next visit us at Urban Revolution. Rocket’s work has changed our lives and made a visit to our store an even greater experience for our customers. We can’t wait to see what he’ll come up with next!
