Why We Love It
Transform your space with our artisanal Oaxacan Double Spiral Beeswax Taper Candle, meticulously handcrafted by fourth-generation artisans in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca. Each spiral is a testament to ancient indigenous candle making traditions, featuring a double helix design that glows as it burns. 

These beeswax taper candles are dyed using ancestral techniques using a prized natural dye, cochineal, in a practice dating back to pre-colonial times. Free from paraffin, synthetic dyes and harmful additives, they offer a pure, clean burn that honors tradition and the planeta.

Made with 100% pure, locally-sourced beeswax, providing up to 12 hours of gentle, honey-scented illumination.

San Pascual Velas is a fourth-generation, family owned business dedicated to the art of making beeswax candles and preserving this ancestral tradition. They prioritize sustainability and work with local beekeepers to source the beeswax. They only dye using plant- or natural-based dyes.

Candles are carefully hand-poured using 50-year-old molds used to make the wax flowers that adorn the candles. This form of candle-making employs many members of the community and artisans working to pass down their techniques to the next generation so that the artistry is not lost. We partner directly with these talented artisans, and work with them on a fair trade basis.
