About

Bluecorn is a candle company dedicated to simplicity. For us, that means using pure, simple ingredients to build a product that helps us live richer, more connected lives. It's important to know, however, that underlying our sweet, simple candles is a complex process requiring an unwavering attention to detail and ultimately, a high level of craftsmanship.


In this way, we emulate the bees that bless us with all of their remarkable gifts. Their journey carries them across countless miles finding flowers, collecting pollen and making wax — the building block of their exquisite homes.


Our journey begins with sourcing only the finest of this beeswax, then lightly filtering it to remove particulates while leaving the sweet scent and vibrant color intact. Then, we painstakingly test burn every batch and carefully choose the right wick to ensure a perfect burn.


Yes, we keep it simple, but we work really hard at it.

Founding Story

A LEGACY OF SPIRITED MOUNTAIN LIVING & HANDCRAFTED LIGHT


In the winter of 1991, my home was a tiny, one-room cabin in Telluride, Colorado. It was there that my friend “Baker” Steve taught me how to dip a beeswax candle. With no electricity, we worked by candlelight, often dipping well into morning. When finished, we could barely move through the cabin while hundreds of still-warm tapers hung from rope strung wall-to-wall.


In those early days, I was most concerned with how much snow had fallen during the night and if there were still hot coals in the wood stove come morning. More than three decades later, this legacy of simple, spirited living is at the heart of what we do at Bluecorn. We make candles from clean, natural ingredients — honoring the bees that gather the pollen and create the wax, as well the craftspeople that build our candles with presence and care. In today's all-too-busy world, the act of lighting a flame inspires us to pause, connect and be more mindful — to feel more at peace. It's an opportunity to return to simple.
