“Omg!!! I bought my Black Hills Candle about a month ago and it’s still burning strong!! This candle is long lasting… filled my home with the most beautiful scent and the engraving of the Black Hills Mountains on the front of the candle glow through giving an amazing ambiance to any room!!! I love that the candle had a very fast delivery and was packaged so beautifully with personalized matches enclosed too!!  I will definitely be spreading the word! Thank you Black Hills Candles!!!”

“We recently lost our 19 year old son, Eric, in April, and for our last Christmas with him, he had bought us some these Blackhills candles.We knew they were actually made IN the Blackhills, and that’s what we loved about them. So when we made a trip out to the Blackhills in July, we made a special stop out to the store. The store is a few miles outside of Custer, Sd. and it’s a cute little shop. In the store, there was a buy 3, get 1 free offer on the candles, so we bought 4 of them. We love all the scents we chose. We told Pam, the owner, about our son, and she offered to make a special candle in his honor, which we just got in the mail today.   It’s beautiful!  Thank you so much! ❤️”

“Best candles!! I stop burning candles years ago..then Black Hill Candles came into my house! These candles burn clean, even and smell wonderful.  I recommend Black Hills Candles to everyone- game changer for burning candles!

I have also tried the soap line and highly recommend the soaps also. There is no slimy residue from the soap and it feels great on my skin!”

“I was so excited I found tallow local! I liked that fact they showed the ingredients and keeping the traditional and simple ways alive and accessible! The anti aging salve is incredible !! I love using it with my guasha stone!! The healing salve is amazing for  dry skin we get  in the winter as well! And the body butter sample has me hooked!! It is great for my belly postpartum!

The packaging was great! I love the attached simple ways links to learn more and stay in the loop! The little thank note really shows how they are intentional and genuine they are about providing  nothing but great products and experiences with each customer!  I’m HOOKED!!

Plus being able to shop local and supporting local businesses is huge!”

“The real deal! Pam and her husband Patrick render the tallow right here on their property from ethically and sustainably sourced bison - grazed on Audubon Society approved lands. I bought Healing Salve, and Body Butter (“Lumberjack”) for myself and my friends. Pure products with pure ingredients makes my body and spirit sing! From the heart of where the bison nation first emerged.”

“An absolutely wonderful experience.  Pam and Patrick are incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. They have a great variety of products too.  I am so pleased with the patchouli whipped body butter and the mineral sunscreen. Their candles are gorgeous- good luck picking just one. I also love their diffusers.  The scents are soothing and delightful. Regardless of the product(s) you try you will not be disappointed.”

“I absolutely love Black Hills Candle & Tallow products. I replaced my everyday lotion with the buffalo tallow body butter & use it on my kids, too. Whatever you do, don't try the grapefruit bergamot scent (that's my favorite & I don't ever want them to go out of stock!) Their healing salve is my new go-to (I've turned into the dad from My Greek Wedding with Windex, except I'm walking around using the healing salve for everything). I like that they use non-toxic, limited and high quality ingredients that I know I can trust. Their candles smell amazing. Plus I like that I'm supporting a founder-owned and operated business. Thank you, Black Hills!”

“Pamela (& Patrick) @BlackHillsCandle&Tallow are truly exceptional people and create exceptional products.  They are a blessing to know and to the community, of all the people they’ve helped.  They do business the best way: hands on, homemade and face to face.  (It’s also a blessing they will send their same small batch product shipped anywhere; as I will be reordering, ordering for my friends and family, and is the only thing I will use on my skin Anymore!)... Thankful for these folks and all that goes into this small business!"

“This is my second time buying from Black Hills Candle and I am not disappointed! I bought several items as Christmas gifts and they were shipped rapidly. The owners even sent a hand written card with the order thanking me for the business. A wonderful small business to support and products are made with clean ingredients and no harmful fragrances which is huge! Will definitely continue to purchase from them in the future.”

“Seasonal, specialty and other wonderful candle scents all made on property. Knowledgeable owner/operator looking to improve your life with amazing products.

Try the body butters!

I purchased the healing salve to keep in my saddle bag.”

“Stumbled on to BH candles while camping at Comanche campground next door!

Great products! Luv candles, sunscreen and body butter! Also have healing salve for arthritis but use it more on super dry areas which works!”

“Excellent products fast delivery with personalized note thanking me for the purchase. I am usually very sensitive to scented candles and "air fresheners"  these I have absolute reaction to and find them very pleasant. They are definitely being recommended and will be purchased again.”

“Adorable little shop, great for visitors! Candles smell so good, i couldn't decide which one to get!! i ended up getting the coffee scented one and OMG. the whole room smells AMAZING! Owner was super nice, (and locals get a discount! 😉) even the candles burn evenly which is a huge plus. this shop is a MUST GO on your trip to the black hills!”

“Love the candles, I’ve never been able to burn candles before. I get such bad headaches dew to the smells of most candles but there’s. I haven’t stopped burning them!! So beautiful and they smell amazing!!”

“This is a Must Stop! if you are anywhere near Custer SD. The shop is adorable, the candles are beautiful and so fragrant. The line of all natural skin care products is amazing. The owner Pam was so friendly and engaging, and all the products are made in house. We highly recommend this family operated and locally owned small business!”

“Such a cute little place! The owners are so genuine and wholesome. Highly recommend stopping at their store front! Products are locally sourced around Custer, SD.”

“This is the best body butter. I have diabetes and my skin stays dry all the time. I apply this in the morning and by the evening my skin is still moisturized. I am so happy I stopped at this location when I was in South Dakota otherwise I might still be living with itchy dry skin. Thanks for making a wonderful product!”

“In today’s world where so many products are chemical laden and have questionable ingredients, this company gives you a viable alternative. I love that they are all natural. Their nontoxic candles smell divine  ( looking at you Breakfast at the Cabin) and their body butter is so good!!”

“I originally bought this candle in the rapid city airport while visiting family and now I always have one on our table in California. These candles bring to life a small piece of South Dakota (which I dearly miss). Thank you!”

“I love this product!!   They are unique, beautiful, high quality, burn great, long lasting and smell amazing!  I have them in several rooms in my house and they offer the perfect smell and ambiance.   Price is fair and shipping was lightning quick!   I was so impressed I have bought several for several different friends as gifts and they all say practically the exact same thing!!   You will be thrilled with your purchase just as I am!”

“Love Love Love all of their products!! Highly recommend everything!! The candles burn so evenly and smell terrific.   The body butter is phenomenal!!”

“While in Custard  South Dakota , We discovered Black Hills Candle, so very glad we did. (June of 24’)     Mrs pam’s shop is an inviting, warm , beautiful log cabin  . Like talking  to an old friend,    she explained products.    Was a new concept for me to have all natural handmade product that closely resembles human skin lipids.  It TRULY is different from store products.   It does melt into skin, without A greasy feel. ( a little goes a long way).  I  see improvement in my skin;    skin on my husband’s arms and hands look healthier, The bluish hues from bumping his arms has gone away. I could not be happier with this product. Thanks Pam & Patrick for your product/kindness.”"

“All Natural Coconut-Apricot Wax Candles. Hand Poured in Custer, South Dakota. These candles are perfect, clean burning with no smokey vapors like other brands. I’m super satisfied with our online purchase and will be buying more for the upcoming holidays.”

“These candles are absolutely beautiful, and the scents are amazing! I have the scent Wind Cave. It smells so fresh, the nice thing is that they are clean candles, the smell stays in the room for a few days even when you don’t have it burning. The etching is beautiful, especially when lit. Definitely will be buying more.”

“Nicely made candles.

Looks beautiful and smells great..

Promptly shipped, and well packaged.

Thank you Black Hills Candle well done.

Absolutely love their candles.”

“Looked up this place while visiting  Black Hills South Dakota. I highly  recommend taking  time to stop by. A small business with two outstanding people. Probably only spent a half hour but felt like I knew  them for years. Not just candles but they are excellent as well. Please  stop by and support or order online.  You gained a customer from Pennsylvania. I wish you, your wife, and new staff  member great success !! A real pleasure!!”

“Stopped by after seeing their sign in Custer and so glad we did. Patrick met us at the shop. So impressed with his knowledge of the scents, ingredients and processes of both candles and lotions. I bought the healing salve. I had a cut on my heal and it hurt to walk. Put the salve on and within 12 hours felt so much better

Would highly recommend making this place a must stop. “

“Wonderful products!!! I especially love the Anti-aging salve and Healing salve.

Customer service is absolutely awesome too. Highly recommended.”

“This is a lovely shop, with lovely scented candles, soaps, and salves, among other things! Everything is made with ingredients that are well sourced, and no soy is used. Im a massage therapist and was given some massage tallow oil, free of charge, to try out on my clients. The owner was so sweet and I'd highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!”

“This was the best candle I have ever had! No smoke or black suit, burns evenly, fragrance was out of this world! Not to mention the gorgeous container. Needs more then five stars!”

“Wonderful scents in beautiful laser etched glass. Scents named for popular Black Hills destinations make great gifts for family and friends.

Friendly, personable owners are the icing on the cake.”

“I’ve really enjoyed my Buffalo Stampede candle from Black Hills Candle.  A relaxing woodsy scent with a complimentary mix of citrus and mint. I can’t wait to share some of their other scents with friends and relatives at Christmas!”

“Wow!  This place is a MUST DO when you are in Custer!  The items are all hand made in store and the products are very high quality.  The candles and coffee mugs are the perfect souvenir from your time in the Black Hills!   The women working that day was super knowledgable about the products and was so kind, welcoming, and friendly.  Of all the shopping we did (which was a lot), while is Custer, this place was definitely our favorite!!”

“The Black Hills candles we received are amazing! The etched exterior is eye catching and the scent is pleasant, but not overwhelming.  Try the Leather, it is my favorite and smells just like a saddle shop!”

“Jewel Cave, Peach Bellini, and Apple Picking are just some of my favorite scents from Black Hills Candles. The fragrances are spot on, but not overwhelming. The candles look amazing with any aesthetic and are perfect for gift giving. I love that the candles are made with eco-friendly ingredients, so I can have a clean conscious about what I am putting in my home. The best part is the laser engraved design on the front that cascades a beautiful light as it burns!”

“I purchased the Dakota Strawberry Kuchen candle and Coffee Cabin as souvenirs for family.  I ended up keeping the candles for myself because I cannot not find candles that have this much attention to quality, have a sleek design and an authentic scent.  You will not regret purchasing these candle, now to purchase more . . .”

“We had a fantastic visit with Pam and Patrick. They have amazing products that they produce right there on site. If you are ever close it is well worth stopping. And, they ship too!!”

“I have several of these candles.   The glass containers are sleek and beautiful and the etching is illuminated from within when lit, adding to the design.   The fragrances are spot on and smell great, my favorite is “The Spires”.   The candles are clean burning too, and  I plan on giving them as Christmas gifts!   Will definitely be back for more.”
