Beautiful natural-beeswax birthday candles handmade with care in Ireland. To light up everyone's birthday or occasion, from 1 to 101!
Hand-dipped with love and care on a farm in beautiful County Tipperary with wax harvested from the farm’s specially sown 3 hectares of wildflower meadows, blackberries, tree blossoms and from organic clover and meadows.
Safe for food contact (in fact, natural beeswax is itself edible)
[Unless other birthday candles say otherwise, they're probably made from paraffin wax, a by-product of crude oil]
[Thanks to our customer and supporter Maria for the lovely photos and video!]
