Hello....

Hello, I'm Ruth, owner of Celtic Beeswax Candles based in Inverness, we have recently moved after many happy years (over 30) on the beautiful Isle of Skye.

I created Celtic Beeswax Candles as I was having breathing difficulties and I needed a candle that wouldn't irritate my breathing or inflame my sinuses while I was on my wellness journey.

At the time beeswax candles were harder to find locally, although they are more popular now, so I decided to make my own and I've been making beeswax candles for over a decade now.

I choose Beeswax for it's wonderful beneficial properties as a beeswax candle when a candle is burning it helps to clean the air in the room and acts like

an air purifier.

It was so important that I could light a candle with no soot or toxins being released into the air so that I could breathe normally and easily.

I use the best quality raw beeswax sourced directly from bee keepers in the Highlands and Perthshire which means that I can guarantee that the candles are made purely 100% from beeswax and nothing added like paraffin or other contaminates.

The wicks are natural cotton and they are all pre-waxed by me by hand. Each candle is wick tested to make sure the correct wick is used to get the best flame size and burn time out of each candle and this can take several attempts to perfect.

No additional scents are added as a pure beeswax candle will give out a lovely delicate honey aroma and have a soft warm golden glow and in the dark you can see the lovely golden halo effect around the flame which can be

mesmerising to watch.

It's a pure joy when making candles with melted beeswax as the lovely honey aroma fills the air and if the door is open it attracts the occasional friendly bee who comes to check out what I'm doing.

Our main ethos is healthy, sustainability and kind to the environment, this is a core theme in packaging materials as well with no plastic in any of my packaging.

I hope you treat yourself and enjoy the candles.

Ruth xo
