Why Burn Beeswax?
Beeswax candles have been the choice of candle connoisseurs through the ages, bringing a simple, natural elegance to all occasions.
Beeswax is 100% natural and a renewable resource.Most candles are made with paraffin, a petroleum by-product, which is not natural and is unhealthy to burn.To prepare it for candle making it is chemically bleached and hardened, then artificially scented. Burning paraffin emits harmful black soot and pollutes the air.
Soy and other natural wax candles may be healthier to burn than paraffin, however many are synthetically fragranced, and none compare to the luxurious quality and natural beauty of beeswax.
Beeswax is naturally aromatic, infused with the sweet, subtle scent of honey. Being nontoxic and nonallergenic, beeswax candles burn clean and soot free. While burning they release negative ions, just as seashores or rainstorms do. These ions improve air quality by eliminating pollutants and allergens from the air that we breathe.
The high melting and burning temperature of beeswax translates into exceptionally long burn times. They burn with a steady, healthy sized flame that radiates a spectrum of light that matches the sun. Beeswax candles are the ultimate in natural luxury.

Our Story
It was back in the summer of '93 when I was first enlightened with the idea of making candles. My good buddy Hefe and I were hiking along the rugged shoreline of the Olympic Peninsula. On our first evening, as the final rays of sunshine dipped below the horizon, we breathed deep of the fresh ocean air and fixed our gazes upon the emerging stars. After several hours of philosophical banter on the meaning of life, my eyes settled on the most recognizable beacon in the northern sky, "The Big Dipper". Suddenly my future flashed before my eyes. I would use elements of nature, which I so respect, to create a natural source of light. Hand "dipped" beeswax candles. And so "Big Dipper" Wax Works was born. Like drones to their queen, we have served and remain dedicated to our values, and proudly continue to make the best all natural candles available.
