Glow Up Your Space: Beeswax Candles for a Healthy Home

Embrace Non-Toxic Ambiance

Looking to detox your home in the new year? In a world where health-conscious living is becoming increasingly popular, many people are seeking alternatives to traditional paraffin candles that release harmful chemicals into the air. What’s that alternative? Beeswax candles. Big Dipper Wax Works has been handcrafting beeswax candles for over 20 years, so we know from experience and working with our partners in sustainability that beeswax is the best, non-toxic and environmentally friendly choice for creating a warm and inviting ambiance in your home.

The Allure of Beeswax:

Beeswax candles are derived from the natural substance produced by honeybees. Unlike paraffin candles, which are made from petroleum by-products and release toxins like benzene and toluene when burned, beeswax candles burn cleanly without emitting harmful pollutants. In fact, beeswax candles are known to release negative ions into the air, which can help purify and cleanse the surrounding atmosphere. Over the years, we’ve heard from raving customers who previously stopped burning candles because of their allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to synthetic fragrances, and our beeswax candles were the solution to start enjoying candles in their home again.

Sustainability Matters:

Big Dipper Wax Works takes sustainability seriously, sourcing their beeswax from responsible beekeepers dedicated to maintaining healthy bee colonies and natural filtering of the beeswax itself. Supporting such practices not only promotes environmental conservation but also contributes to the well-being of bees, which play a crucial role in pollination and maintaining ecosystem balance. In addition to sourcing our beeswax sustainably, we also source all of our packaging from recycled and recyclable materials to minimize our environmental footprint.

We are recognized as a Green America Approved Business. Green America is a nonprofit organization that promotes ethical consumerism among businesses, customers and the greater community. In this spirit, 5% of the net profits from all candle sales go towards supporting outreach, education, and sustainability efforts related to promoting sustainable beekeeping. Our partners include Pollinator Partnership, the Xerces Society, and Heifer International. Through these collaborations, we aim to promote education, sustainability, and conservation efforts that align with our vision for a healthier and more harmonious world.

Pure Beeswax Options:

Big Dipper Wax Works offers a range of pure beeswax candles that allow you to enjoy the natural beauty and benefits of beeswax with absolutely no additives. Pure beeswax has a naturally sweet, honey-like scent that comes from the natural filtering of the beeswax. These candles burn longer and cleaner than paraffin alternatives, providing a warm, golden glow that enhances the ambiance of any room. Our Pure Beeswax candles are available in all different styles: Pillars, Tapers, Votives, Tea Lights, and even Sculpted candles from molds that are unique to Big Dipper Wax Works.
