Why Choose Beeswax Candles?
At OLIE KENT, we believe in creating beautiful, sustainable pieces that elevate everyday moments. Our candles are more than just a source of light — they are a connection to nature, craftsmanship, and timeless quality.
Each OLIE KENT candle is hand-crafted in Melbourne using pure Australian beeswax, carefully sourced from Victorian apiaries. We take pride in using triple-filtered beeswax to ensure a clean, golden burn that celebrates the natural beauty of the material.
But why beeswax? Here’s why we choose it — and why you’ll love it too:
1. Natural & Chemical-Free
Unlike many candles made from paraffin or synthetic blends, beeswax is 100% natural. It’s free from toxins, fragrances, and dyes (unless naturally added).
When you burn an OLIE KENT candle, you're inviting purity into your home — just the way nature intended.
2. Cleaner, Longer Burn
Beeswax burns longer, brighter, and cleaner than most other waxes. It produces very little smoke when trimmed correctly and actually purifies the air by releasing negative ions that bind to dust and allergens.
Our Moodie Candles are designed for shorter occasions (burn time around 1.5 hours), while our Astrid standard and Starr extra tall tapers offer elegant, slow-burning light for longer moments.
3. Beautiful Natural Aroma
Pure beeswax has a subtle, honey-like fragrance — no added scents needed. It's a comforting, nostalgic scent that gently fills your space without overpowering.
From egg-shaped sculptures to classic tealights, every OLIE KENT candle brings a soft, soothing scent that feels like home.
4. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Supporting bees means supporting ecosystems. Our beeswax is a renewable resource harvested responsibly from Victorian beekeepers who care deeply for their hives.
When you choose an OLIE KENT candle, you’re choosing to light your home with a product that’s kind to the earth — and to future generations.
