Big Dipper Wax Works Beeswax Taper Candles

These candles are labeled as seconds because they may have minor surface imperfections or cosmetic flaws in the packaging. However, they are functionally identical to our premium tapers and offer the same clean, long-lasting burn.

These are unscented candles, meaning no artificial fragrances have been added. You will notice a very subtle, natural honey aroma that comes directly from the pure beeswax itself.

Unlike paraffin wax, which can release soot and chemicals, pure beeswax burns cleanly. As it burns, it releases negative ions that help neutralize airborne pollutants like dust and odors.

Yes, these tapers have a standard diameter of 0.875 inches, which is the universal size for most standard taper candle holders.

Each 12-inch taper is hand-dipped 17 times to ensure density and quality, resulting in a consistent burn time of approximately 12 hours.
