We have a tremendous focus on candle safety here at Begonia & Bench®.  We strive to comply with industry standard regulations in regard to candle safety, emission, and even glass candle vessel safety. 

The ASTM F2179 Candle Safety Standard for Candle Glass clearly indicates that candle glass can only be tested by the original manufacturer to meet and certify their glass batches to this standard, and that compliance to the standard cannot be established by the candle maker.  Our candle glass vessel manufacturers have a commitment to manufacturing their vessels in accordance with established ASTM standards.

Since we can not be certain the vessel has not experienced thermal shock while outside of our control and burned previously as a candle, we feel we are unable to test the ASTM safety standard for candle glass and therefore do not refill glass vessels out of an abundance of safety.

We instead encourage everyone to strongly consider repurposing or upcycling our glass vessels whenever possible, and If unable to please recycle our soda glass vessels after removing all wax residue.
Many types of glassware is an under-recycled material that is infinitely recyclable.  Please recycle any glass you cannot reuse.

A Candle Like No Other

The art of fusing aroma & light

We are obsessed with olfactory art & candle perfection.

Our finely crafted Artisan candles are preferred by candle enthusiasts, or those seeking a perfect gift for their candle loving friends.

Every Artisan candle is a labor of love, perfumed with patiently macerated aroma oils, poured in multiple stages, cured & aged. Only our best candles from the batch are then prepared with careful polishing, leaving no blemish to tarnish the candle experience. Once perfected, it’s carefully hand-wrapped in kraft paper, then boxed with tasteful packaging - creating a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind presentation.

This extra care transforms our candles into more than just a source of light- they become a heartfelt gift, ready to delight the recipient from the moment they unwrap it.

Whether you’re treating yourself or someone special, our handcrafted candles offer a unique experience that combines timeless craftsmanship with the joy of giving.

From Farm to Flame

Our Artisan candles use our custom blend of 4 plant-based botanical waxes. We use 2 types of soy wax, a coconut wax, and rice bran wax that we import from Japan. We also cure & age our candles until the aroma is at it's finest.
Rice bran wax is unique in that it is organic, plant based, and a dripless, smokeless wax. In our wax blend, this allows our candles to burn slower and more cleanly than all-soy.
Our blend also allows more character of the aroma to be captured, and as the candle ages - the character will continue to develop and refine, similar to how cheese or wine ages.
Our unique Artisan blend promotes a slow, clean burn that enhances candle longevity, while fragrances evolve over time- like a fine wine or aged cheese.
Crafted from renewable, sustainable sources, these candles are the ultimate choice for considerate candle enthusiasts seeking luxury with intention.
Unlike the Artisan candles, our 9oz Amber Jar candles are all-soy wax candles and are intended to offer a version of our aromas at a more accessible price.
