  The Wax

  At Big Dipper Wax Works, they strive to use the highest quality ingredients in their candles. They are committed to making 100% pure beeswax candles. Most of the beeswax they use is collected from Northwest beekeepers, including British Columbia. The crops in this region rank lowest in exposure to pesticides in North America and is the highest quality beeswax available.

   

  As their business grows, they have had to expand their wax resources outside of the North American channel and are exploring global wax sourcing. They are actively pursuing fair trade partnerships with beekeepers in several foreign countries. They are currently sourcing about 25% of their wax globally. They have hand selected the wax and run extensive testing to insure it is up to their high quality standards.

  
  
  Color
  

  Beeswax gets its wonderful natural color and honey-like fragrance from the pollen and nectar of the flowers the bees are pollinating. The color often depends on what particular crop the bees are pollinating. Dark berries, like blueberries or blackberries, will derive a much darker, browner wax. Clover, however, will result in a brighter, golden tone. Their colored beeswax candles are dyed with eco-friendly dyes that do not contain hazardous solvents or additives such as naphtha or naphthalene. Their dyes are never tested on animals. All of their candles are handmade, and the beeswax is never 100% consistent in shade, so there may be variations in color.
