Purple Fig Beeswax Candle

1 handmade purple fig beeswax candle.

Molded from a real fig and dyed a deep, ripe plum, it is 100% beeswax with no paraffin or synthetic fragrance, and handmade in Los Angeles. Low-tox, local, and a little bit moody in the best way.

Figs typically ripen in Southern California from summer into early fall, when market tables are piled high with them. The candle, of course, is in season year-round.

I like to think about the home the way I think about a plate: fewer mystery ingredients, more real ones. An unscented beeswax candle is one of the simplest swaps there is, and this deep plum fig makes it feel like a treat rather than a rule.

Fall tablescapes, Thanksgiving place settings, cheese board styling, kitchen windowsills, low-tox homes, hostess gifts, and anyone who waits all year for fig season.

General candle care: trim the wick to 1/4 in before each burn, burn on a heat-resistant dish, keep away from drafts, children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sun.

Happy Organics was born from three generations of beekeeping, a tradition that stretches back to Michoacán, México, and continues on the family's farm in Merced, California. Inspired by the family's roots in farming, their realistic fruit and vegetable candles are hand-poured in small batches and handmade in Los Angeles. You may have spotted them at Anthropologie and MoMA. This deep plum fig is cast from a real fig from the family's farm.
