The candle has accompanied mankind for centuries. It served as a source of light, a sign of contemplation and a symbol of hope. But not all candles are the same, and some have their own special history. One such candle is the beeswax candle.

For centuries, beeswax candles have been a symbol of purity and naturalness. Unlike paraffin candles, beeswax candles burn cleaner and longer and spread a gentle, honey-like scent. Historically, they were often used in churches and during sacred ceremonies because they were considered a pure product of the hard-working bees.

Making a beeswax candle is both an art and a science. It all starts with the pure wax that comes directly from the beehives. This wax is melted, filtered and poured into special molds to create the perfect candle.

At Sternkerze we bring this centuries-old tradition into the modern age. Our beeswax candles are made with the utmost care in Zurich. But what really makes our candle production special is our belief in inclusion. We are proud to produce in sheltered workshops, which means we offer people with disabilities a meaningful and fulfilling workplace. With every purchase of a Sternkerze you not only support the tradition of beeswax candles, but also an inclusive and diverse community.

Let yourself be enchanted by the warmth, scent and history of our beeswax candles. Discover our collection now and help keep the light of inclusion burning.
