Hello....the story behind Celtic Beeswax Candles

Hello, I’m Ruth – lovely to meet you!

Based in the Highlands, Celtic Beeswax Candles began as part of my wellness journey. I’ve always loved candles, but many irritated my breathing and sinuses. That’s when I discovered the benefits of beeswax and began making my own.

Over a decade later, I’m still handcrafting pure beeswax candles – using only the finest raw beeswax sourced directly from beekeepers in the Highlands and Perthshire. Each block is filtered by hand multiple times to remove impurities, ensuring nothing is added—no paraffin, no toxins, just 100% natural beeswax.

I use natural cotton wicks, hand-waxed and carefully tested to ensure the perfect burn and flame. No fragrances are added, because beeswax candles naturally release a gentle honey scent and emit a warm, golden glow – with a soft halo effect that’s truly mesmerising.

It brings me so much joy to work with beeswax – sometimes even attracting the occasional curious bee through the open door!

Health, sustainability, and environmental kindness are at the heart of everything I do – right down to the eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging.

Beeswax candles offer more than light – they’re natural air purifiers that create a soothing, mindful atmosphere in your home.

I hope you love them as much as I do.
