The Bee Candle Vietnam
Natural candles made in Dalat

The Bee Candle is a project that came to life to support Bees4life.org.
With the purchase of a candle you directly support the mission of the website. You can fuel our efforts to inspire people and farmers for a more sustainable lifestyle or farming practices!
Our goal is to become a 100% sustainable company with a triple bottom line:
Environmentally successful: by reducing packaging and production waste to a minimum, while sourcing locally whenever possible and neither using synthetic candle waxes nor fragrances.
How far have we come? Regarding this goal, we are on a good way. The majority of our ingredients are already sourced in Vietnam, the beeswax comes even from only a few kilometers away from our candle lab. Yay! Also, we have plans to get rid of the glass jar altogether, our product development is working on it.
Socially successful: by providing work and stable incomes to single moms or disadvantaged people.
How far have we come? So far, we are only 2 people working in the production and sales. The plan is to scale up soon… 🙂
Economically successful: possibly by generating even a little profit to serve the mission of bees4life.org.
How far have we come? Nowadays we can make small profits while paying our salaries and taxes. It’s not the world, but a humble start.
About the Product
Our candles are made with a blend of local beeswax and soy wax. We source the beeswax from 2 beekeeper families in Dalat and its surroundings.
Currently, they are available in 2 sizes: reusable glass jars in small (100ml) and big (200ml).
We exclusively use natural essential oils for our candles.
Available scents:

How to burn a candle
As much as we love candles, we dearly care about the safety of our customers.
We recommend our customers to be aware of the fact that generally speaking, a candle is a small fire in your house. Never leave an enlightened candle out of sight.
Besides that, there are some more recommendations that we would like to warmly share with you.
- Trim wick below 5mm
- Keep candles away from pets and children
- The container can get hot when the candle is lit.
- Burn candle no longer than 3 hours at the time.
- Close windows and avoid AC for the best scent experience.
