Collection: Big Dipper Wax Works

About Big Dipper Wax Works

Big Dipper Wax Works handcrafts pure beeswax candles built on one simple idea: a candle should be made from a single, natural material — beeswax — and nothing else. Every Big Dipper candle is hand poured in small batches from 100% pure beeswax, so it burns clean and soot-free, glows with the warm, honey-gold light only beeswax produces, and carries the faint, natural sweetness of the hive rather than a synthetic fragrance. At Eartheasy, we carry a curated selection of Big Dipper Wax Works candles for everyday light, seasonal aromatherapy, and gift-giving.

Pure beeswax, made in the USA

What sets Big Dipper apart is the wax itself. The beeswax is naturally filtered to remove impurities while preserving its natural color and aroma, then poured around a simple cotton wick that contains no lead or metal. Each candle is handcrafted in the USA from 100% pure beeswax and is free of paraffin and other toxins — so a candle that's already kinder to the air in your home is also made from a renewable material that bees produce naturally.

Why choose Big Dipper beeswax candles

Beeswax burns at a high temperature, so it is exceptionally long burning — a Big Dipper candle lasts noticeably longer than a comparable paraffin or soy candle of the same size. It's free of the petroleum base found in paraffin, made entirely from a renewable material that bees produce naturally, and handcrafted in the USA from 100% pure beeswax with a clean, soot-free burn. For a candle you'll actually breathe near — at the dinner table, by the bath, or beside the bed — that purity is the whole point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Big Dipper candles 100% beeswax?

Yes. Big Dipper Wax Works candles are made from 100% pure beeswax — the one exception is their citronella line, which blends beeswax with a small percentage of soy wax for an optimal outdoor burn. They're hand poured in small batches with 100% cotton wicks that contain no lead or metal.

Are beeswax candles better than paraffin or soy?

Beeswax is a renewable, natural wax with no petroleum base. It burns at a high temperature, so it lasts longer than paraffin or soy, burns clean and soot-free, and gives off a warm, golden light with a subtle natural honey scent — which is why many people prefer it for indoor use.

Where is Big Dipper Wax Works made?

Big Dipper Wax Works candles are handcrafted in the USA from 100% pure beeswax.

How long do Big Dipper beeswax candles burn?

Because beeswax burns at a high temperature, Big Dipper candles offer a longer burn time than comparable soy or paraffin candles of the same size. Exact burn time varies by candle — for example, the pure beeswax pillars burn from 40 hours (small) up to 90 hours (large), and the tea lights burn about 5 hours each.
