Frida beeswax candles are made exclusively from beeswax obtained from beehives. The beehives are boiled for a long time, filtered, and refined, and no additives other than beeswax are included. Using the 'dipping' method, where a cotton wick is dipped multiple times into the melted beeswax to coat it layer by layer, you can choose from three candles with different sizes and burning times.

Candles made by soaking
Dipped candles are made by repeatedly dipping a cotton wick into melted beeswax, taking it out to cool, and dipping it again. As the beeswax builds up layer by layer around the wick and gradually thickens, the wick always remains in the center, regardless of the candle's length or thickness.
Therefore, dipping candles rarely tilt to one side or sink in the center, burning evenly and stably. When lit, the warm glow characteristic of beeswax and a subtle honey scent slowly spread through the space.

User Manual
Please read this once before lighting it for the first time. The one you received from the Composition store QR cardYou can reopen this guide at any time.
Lighting a fire
If the wick is too long, the flame will get bigger and produce soot. Please cut it with scissors, leaving only about 5mm.
The straighter you stand it, the less the wax drips and the more stably it burns. If you are using a plate without a pin, drop a few drops of wax onto the plate and press the candle down to stand it upright; it will stick firmly.
Please watch for a moment until the flame settles.
Turning off the light
Instead of blowing on it, use a wick dipper or a thin stick to gently lay the wick in the melted beeswax and then stand it upright again. It will go out quietly without smoke, and the beeswax coating will make it easier to light the next time.
In times like this, do this
· If white powder has formed on the surface — It is a natural bloom phenomenon that occurs in beeswax. Wiping it with a soft cloth or your hands will restore the shine.
· If candle wax is stuck to the plate or holder — If you put it in the freezer for about an hour and take it out, it will come off easily. Do not throw away the removed beeswax; collect it.
Please turn it on safely.
· Please be sure to use it on a non-flammable stand.
· Do not light in windy areas or near flammable materials.
· Burn on a flat surface, and do not move while burning.
· Do not leave your seat while riding, and be sure to turn it off when going out or sleeping.

Reuse instructions
Frida beeswax candles contain nothing but beeswax, so, The beeswax remaining after burning becomes candles again. A light that turns on one more time without wasting anything—please try following along slowly.
Place the candlestick or plate with leftover beeswax or dripping wax directly into the freezer for about 20 minutes. After taking it out, gently peel it off with a thin stick or skewer.
Place the detached beeswax in a non-heat-resistant glass or ceramic container and melt it in a microwave. For thick pieces that are difficult to remove by hand, wrap them in a cloth or thick paper and break them into small pieces with a hammer.
· Do not put metal pieces like wick tabs in the microwave.
Please be sure to wear thick gloves when taking out hot containers.
Place a cotton wick upright in the center of the melted beeswax and wait without moving it until the beeswax has completely hardened.
If the amount is small at once, collect the remaining beeswax in a small container and melt it when you have enough. Small teacups or heat-resistant glass cups found at home can be used as containers for new candles.

Frida, a candle illuminating my own space
Frida Beeswax Candles creates "candles for myself, my family, and everyone I love." We design candles so that anyone can comfortably use and gift them, even if they may be unfamiliar to some; we boil and filter the wax by hand instead of using machines, and we strive to reduce the use of plastic in our packaging.
Beeswax candles that are meaningful even when left as they are—Frida makes candles that illuminate her own space in this way.
Keep it by your side like this.
Early in the morning, try lighting a relaxation candle before brewing a cup of tea. The brief moment the flame settles quietly opens the door to the start of the day.
An evening spent writing or reading with a lit beeswax candle. When two hours pass and the candle burns out, it naturally becomes time to wrap up the day.
· After finishing yoga or meditation, light a single dipping candle before closing your eyes. As your breath becomes calm, the flame becomes calm as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. White powder has formed on the surface of the candle.
A. This is the 'bloom' phenomenon that naturally occurs in beeswax candles. It is also an indication that the wax is pure. If you gently rub it with a soft cloth or your hands, a subtle sheen will return.
Q. How are Hwigyucho, Damgeumdancho, and Damgeumjangcho different?
A. They differ in size and burning time. The Hwasihwacho is about 4cm tall and burns for about 2 hours, the Damgeumdancho is about 11cm tall and burns for about 2 hours, and the Damgeumjangcho is about 24cm tall and burns for about 20 hours. I recommend the Hwasihwacho for a brief break, the Damgeumdancho for standing on a dining table or desk, and the Damgeumjangcho for long dinners or serving guests.
Q. What is a pack of 10?
A. For those who use them frequently, we have bundled relaxation candles and infusion candles into sets of 10. You can purchase 10 relaxation candles for 11,000 won and 10 infusion candles for 20,000 won, making them slightly more affordable than buying them individually.
Q. Should I throw away the beeswax left over from the burn?
A. Do not throw it away. Frida beeswax candles contain nothing but beeswax, so if you melt the remaining beeswax and set up a wick, it will become a candle again. Please follow the 'Reuse Instructions' on this page.
Q. What is the best way to put out a fire?
A. If you blow on it, melted beeswax may splatter along with the smoke. If you gently lay the wick down in the melted beeswax with a wick dipper or a thin stick and then stand it upright again, it will go out quietly without smoke.
Q. Can I buy it in-store?
A. You can view and select items in person at Composition, a lifestyle select shop in Sinchon-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju. If you purchase in-store, we will provide a QR card containing instructions on how to use and reuse the item.
