That is what the world of Dipam is all about: nature, people and candles made of pure sunlight.  In 1983 Jos Willemse started a project to help people get back on track. It gradually grew into a unique enterprise. The centuries-old craft of making bees wax candles turned out to be a wonderful way to gain work experience, social skills and self-confidence. A Tibetan monk who came to visit the company at the time gave it its name: Dipam, light that cannot go out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, our small traditional factory in Driebergen still feels like a home away from home. We make bees wax candles, rapeseed wax candles and other bees wax products here. Together we are a colourful mix of people who make, pack, sell and distribute beautiful, natural products. Everyone at Dipam – from candle makers to the manager, from packers to administrative staff – is challenged to keep developing themselves and the company. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light et_had_animation\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking a profit is not our goal.  Making beautiful, sustainable candles together. That is what it is all about for us. That’s why we have made sure that no one can ever buy \u003cem\u003eor\u003c\/em\u003e sell Dipam. We are our own company. We combine part of our profit with the profits of other companies that share our views. This is done through the Sleipnir foundation. Thus, we create social venture capital with which these companies help each other to innovate, to develop sustainable products, and to let people and the nature around us flourish. Without the intervention of banks or shareholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_10  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_had_animation\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDid you know this about ordinary candles?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_8 et_pb_divider_position_center et_pb_space et_had_animation\"\u003eParaffin wax is the main ingredient of most ordinary candles. This is a petrochemical by-product of the distillation of motor oil. Stearin is also often used in these candles to make them firmer. This is made from the fat of pigs and cows. And nowadays also from palm oil, but that is at the expense of tropical rain forests…\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTips for safe and pleasant use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA burning bees wax candle is a living light.  And living light requires your care and attention.  Here you can read how to use a (burning) bees wax candle wisely.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSafety tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyone’s safety, at least stick to these rules:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not leave bees wax candles burning unattended, as with any other candles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not place your bees wax candles too close together or next to another heat source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not leave children and animals alone in a room where a candle is burning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure that the flame from your bees wax candle is kept away from flammable materials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTips for your own enjoyment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid draughts. Beeswax candles will also soot, drip and burn unevenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf a bees wax candle burns unevenly, you can carefully bend the burning wick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn order to burn beautifully and evenly – especially with bigger candles – it is important that the entire surface becomes liquid every time. So let the candle burn for a long enough time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf the rim around the wick is too high, the candle might not burn as nicely.  You should therefore cut the rim when the candle has just gone out and the bees wax still feels warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ideal length for a wick is about 1 cm.  A longer wick will usually soot.  If it does, cut it back to 1 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not place the candle in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as a stove, so the candle doesn’t lose its shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoot and smoke-free extinguishing the candle is done by pressing the burning wick into the liquid bees wax.  Do this with a quick, controlled movement.  Then straighten it again.  This will prevent the candle from smouldering.  Moreover, this will make it easier to light your Dipam candle again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhite dusting on a bees wax candle?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCongratulations! Your candle consists of 100% pure bees wax. A white dusting only occurs on bees wax candles of the highest quality. It will form naturally over time, especially at lower temperatures.
