Traditional beeswax candles.
100% Beeswax Only
Traditional beeswax candles by Alysia Mazzella are handcrafted with quality–slowly and simply. No added scents. No added dyes. Just beeswax and a cotton wick. Made in Upstate New York using sustainably-sourced beeswax from local apiaries.
100% beeswax is perfect by nature. It is the slowest and cleanest burning wax on Earth. Created by the brilliant honeybee, beeswax naturally boasts a pollen-infused color and a floral-sweet scent. Each batch of beeswax slightly varies in color and scent; indicated by the plants and trees pollinated. The beeswax I am currently working with was pollinated with mostly Linden Trees. These candles carry a warm spice aroma–ideal for the Fall and Winter seasons.
A time-honored natural resource, beeswax begins as a translucent wax secretion from the abdominal glands of a honeybee. The honeybee uses this to create the honeycomb walls and cappings. Its color yellows after being in contact with plant material stored within the honeycomb.
Beeswax candles are hypoallergenic and cleanse the air on a molecular level. Scientifically, burning beeswax candles emits negative ions which neutralize positive ions (airborne allergens like dust, dander, pollen, smoke). In nature, negative ions are found at beach fronts and at the top of mountains, where there is little to no air pollution. This medicinal property contributes to why we feel good after lighting a beeswax candle.
Beeswax Candles by Alysia Mazzella
Founded in 2017, a personal practice of burning tapers daily grew to offer hundreds of slow-made candles within the first year. Fast forward to 2020, Alysia was named “the person who may have started the current trend in beeswax candle making” by Vogue Magazine.
Alysia’s signature collection specializes in traditional beeswax candles, including: hand dipped tapers, the custom-molded Mirth Pillar, custom-printed Glass Pillars, and the Duplero-inspired Twin Flame taper. Her collection is available online and at select storefronts.

“I don’t believe you have to depend on things outside of yourself in order to create,” said Alysia Mazzella, as we sat in her rustic studio filled with the unmistakable sweet scent of honey. Morning sunlight poured through the windows on a frigid winter day. She poured us warm coffee and checked her goldenrod-colored wax, heating in a large cauldron and almost ready for her next set of hand-dipped beeswax candles. Dirt Magazine, 2020

Beautiful Quality and Incredible Smell
Bought two packs of these exquisite candles from Alyssa. They are simply... perfect. The way they are made, the thoughtfulness and attention to quality. The smell of them straight out of the box (which was also a work of art btw). And the incredible light and smell when burning. If I could shun electricity I'd light my evenings with just these forever. Thank you Alyssa for what you do! I'll be back!
