Explore the luxurious non-toxic scented candles by Bee Coco Candle. Hand crafted with vegan, Leaping Bunny Certified coconut-apricot wax that is made in the USA. When you burn a Bee Coco Candle, you will experience all the clean-burning properties, no tunneling, great fragrance retention, and superior hot throw when compared to soy candles.

Fragrance Intensity: How Strong Do You Want It?

Coconut-apricot wax tends to hold fragrance oils better than soy wax. If you enjoy a stronger scent throw, you will appreciate our larger vessels that allow for a larger wax pool and thus release more fragrance into the air.

For maximum scent throw: Choose our 13 oz jars — they create a wider wax pool, releasing more fragrance throughout your space.

For subtle, localized fragrance: Try our travel tins or votives — perfect for smaller spaces or when you want a gentle scent accent.

Burn Time: How Long Should It Last?

Larger candles generally burn longer. Bee Coco Candles burn with no soot and no tunneling for 70+ hours — giving you weeks of enjoyment from a single candle.

Safety: Choosing the Right Size for Your Space

Always ensure that the size of the candle is appropriate for its holder or surface. Our jar candles should be placed on stable, heat-resistant surfaces to prevent accidents.

  • ✅ Keep candles away from drafts and flammable materials
  • ✅ Never leave a burning candle unattended
  • ✅ Place on flat, stable surfaces
  • ✅ Trim wick to ¼" before each lighting

Personal Preference: Finding Your Perfect Match

Ultimately, the size of the candle should align with your personal preferences and the atmosphere you wish to create in each room of your home.

Consider experimenting with different scents in multiple rooms to find what works best for your home and lifestyle. You might love a bold scent in your living room but prefer something softer in your bedroom — and that's perfectly fine!
