Sweet Corn Beeswax Candle

The​ ​summer​ ​of​ ​2023​ ​was​ ​our​ ​first​ ​year​ ​growing​ ​corn​ ​in​ ​the​ ​backyard​ ​garden.​ ​The​ ​first​ ​ear​ ​that​ ​I​ ​harvested​ ​didn’t​ ​last​ ​long​ ​as​ ​I​ ​bit​ ​into​ ​it​ ​only​ ​seconds​ ​after​ ​removing​ ​the​ ​husk.​ ​This​ ​candle​ ​was​ ​molded​ ​from​ ​the​ ​second​ ​ear​ ​that​ ​we​ ​harvested.​ ​

From​ ​the​ ​garden​ ​to​ ​the​ ​shop,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​an​ ​real​ ​Artifaqt​ ​original…with​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​help​ ​from​ ​nature,​ ​​ ​of​ ​course!

This​ ​beeswax​ ​is​ ​pure​ ​capping​ ​wax​ ​from​ ​Chester​ ​County​ ​hives!​ ​

Beeswax​ ​naturally​ ​burns​ ​cleaner,​ ​brighter,​ ​hotter,​ ​and​ ​longer​ ​than​ ​most​ ​choices​ ​and​ ​does​ ​not​ ​require​ ​chemical​ ​processing​ ​or​ ​additives​ ​to​ ​enhance​ ​these​ ​properties.​ ​With​ ​an​ ​inherently​ ​pleasant​ ​but​ ​gentle​ ​aroma,​ ​beeswax​ ​is​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​choice​ ​for​ ​the​ ​eco-conscious​ ​home.

​ ​7​ ​3/4”​ ​x​ ​1​ ​1/2”​ ​(Approximately​ ​35​ ​hour​ ​burn)

See​ ​Important​ ​Candle​ ​Care​ ​Instructions​ ​Below!
Always​ ​burn​ ​on​ ​a​ ​metal​ ​or​ ​ceramic​ ​dish​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​a​ ​fire.​ ​Never​ ​leave​ ​a​ ​burning​ ​candle​ ​unattended.

Light​ ​the​ ​wick​ ​from​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​near​ ​the​ ​wax​ ​for​ ​the​ ​first​ ​burn.​ ​Do​ ​not​ ​light​ ​from​ ​the​ ​tip​ ​of​ ​the​ ​wick.​ ​

Wax​ ​will​ ​eventually​ ​drip​ ​from​ ​this​ ​candle.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​unavoidable​ ​with​ ​the​ ​sculptural​ ​form​ ​of​ ​this​ ​design.​ ​​ ​If​ ​you’d​ ​like​ ​a​ ​longer​ ​burn,​ ​extinguish​ ​the​ ​candle​ ​when​ ​the​ ​wax​ ​pool​ ​breaks​ ​and​ ​relight​ ​the​ ​candle​ ​after​ ​the​ ​wax​ ​has​ ​cooled.​ ​We​ ​recommend​ ​burning​ ​for​ ​no​ ​longer​ ​than​ ​2​ ​hours​ ​at​ ​a​ ​time.​ ​

Trim​ ​the​ ​wick​ ​to​ ​1/4'​ ​​ ​before​ ​each​ ​lighting.​ ​It's​ ​important​ ​to​ ​trim​ ​the​ ​wick​ ​during​ ​or​ ​immediately​ ​after​ ​burning​ ​your​ ​candle.​ ​Trimming​ ​a​ ​cold​ ​wick​ ​may​ ​break​ ​the​ ​wick​ ​off,​ ​making​ ​relighting​ ​it​ ​difficult.

If​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​carbon​ ​build​ ​up​ ​(build​ ​up​ ​that​ ​resembles​ ​a​ ​little​ ​black​ ​mushroom),​ ​extinguish​ ​the​ ​candle,​ ​cut​ ​the​ ​wick,​ ​and​ ​re-light.
