Handmade Beeswax Candles
“I’m Sara, the owner and candle maker of Slow Burn Candles. What started as a personal mindfulness practice has become a boutique candle company dedicated to crafting high-quality beeswax candles that inspire peace and mindfulness.
As a full-time yoga teacher, candle-making was my anchor amidst a hectic life. The warmth of melted beeswax and the rhythmic pouring process taught me to slow down and appreciate simplicity.
Every Slow Burn candle is hand-poured in my St. Paul, MN studio using 100% pure beeswax from local apiaries. I pay meticulous attention to detail to ensure each candle burns cleanly and beautifully.
Beeswax is a renewable resource that offers a gentle honeyed scent and warm glow, transforming spaces into sanctuaries of peace. My hope is that each candle becomes a moment of pause, a reminder to breathe deeply, and a symbol of the beauty in slowing down. Thank you for trusting Slow Burn to bring calm and mindfulness into your life.”

Frankie, a beautifully handcrafted beeswax candle, transforms any space with its unique design and mesmerizing burn. Frankie is a slender pillar candle that captivates with its intricate lattice pattern. The design evokes the timeless elegance of an antique stained glass window, adding a touch of vintage charm to your home.
Frankie is not just a candle; it's an experience. As it burns, it becomes a shape-shifter, hollowing out to reveal the flickering flame behind the delicate lattice. This enchanting transformation creates a dynamic display of light and shadow, making each burn a delightful spectacle.
Crafted from 100% pure, locally sourced beeswax, Frankie offers a clean, soot-free burn that aligns with Slow Burn's commitment to sustainability and mindfulness. This candle is perfect for those who appreciate artisanal craftsmanship and the beauty of natural materials.
