Making the perfect candle is hard no matter how you roll the dice. But getting the perfect ratio of Tallow, Olive Oil, Beeswax and soy is a tedious task. And my intentions were not just to make a candle, but to give folks a full sensory experience. Tallow candles were an ancestral way to light the home. It also provides a soft wax that can be used on the skin! 

We smoke the wax with Cedar heart and Juniper then melt it down with organic Olive Oil, grass fed Tallow and Local beeswax. We finish it off with a mix of Absolutes, Concretes, Olioresins, Essential Oils and a touch of 100% Natural Fragrance Oil to help with scent throw and to give you a true, smoky fire crackling in a warm cabin kind of woodsy scent. Main notes are Cedar smoke, juniper, birch & pine sap, pipe tobacco & vanilla. 

How to Use

Burning it:
Trim the wick to about a quarter inch before each burn. The first time you light it, let it burn long enough for the melt pool to reach the edges of the vessel, usually two to three hours. That sets the pool and keeps it burning evenly for the life of the candle.

Wearing it:
Tallow makes a soft wax, so this doubles as a scent and a skin product. Burn it or warm it, then take a small amount from the melt pool and use it as a balm, or stir it into your tallow butter for an all-over scent and moisturizer.

9 oz. Burn time 45 to 55 hrs

Hearth candle is legitimately my favorite fall scent ever.

Oh my gosh! I’ve only had this burning for an hour and I’m in love. The smell is divine without being overpowering. Once I blew it out, I dipped my hand into the melted goodness and used it as a moisturizer on my hands and tattoos. It feels as incredible as it smells.

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Hearth Tallow Candle

How long does the Hearth Tallow Candle burn?

55 to 65 hours.

What does it smell like?

Cedar smoke, juniper, birch and pine sap, pipe tobacco and vanilla. Smoky and woodsy, like a fire crackling in a warm cabin.

Can I really use the candle on my skin?

Yes. Tallow makes a soft wax, so once the candle has pooled you can take a small amount and use it as a scented balm, or stir it into your tallow butter.

Does it contain fragrance oil?

It contains a touch of 100% natural fragrance oil, which is there to help with scent throw. Everything else in the scent comes from absolutes, concretes, oleoresins and essential oils.

Why tallow in a candle?

Tallow candles were the ancestral way to light a home. Tallow also makes a much softer wax than soy alone, which is what allows the candle to double as a skin product.

Is the candle vegan?

No. It contains grass-fed tallow and local beeswax.

How do I get an even burn?

Trim the wick to about a quarter inch before each burn, and on the first burn let the melt pool reach the edges of the vessel, usually two to three hours.
