Big Dipper Wax Works 100% Pure Beeswax Taper Candles

From $12

Prop and interiors stylist Kira Corbin sets out Big Dipper Wax Works’ candles on her dinner table. They sell them at her local grocer, so she can buy them in a pinch — but more than the convenience, she likes that they are natural. “If you’re burning something, you’re ultimately breathing it in,” she says. “Also, the scent is very subtle and works well with dining.” The color options here are great, too, with some even more vivid options than the Greentree candles above.

Best Quality Authentic Beeswax Candles!

I have burned Big Dipper tapers and tea lights for over 10 years. Their beeswax has a beautiful bouquet and the company is maintaining high-quality standards. I compared Big Dipper to Chinese fake beeswax candles and the quality difference is obvious: Big Dipper candles are superior in every way - they smell like beeswax, they burn better, and they last longer! I’m willing to pay for it. I hope Big Dipper continues to maintain the quality of their beautiful beeswax candles.

Nice selection

I have been pleased with all the candles from Big Dipper. This mystery set had a nice variety of colors. They look and burn fine. Hard to tell they are seconds.
