Interesting Facts:
The honey bee makes wax in order to build a hexagonal cell where honey is stored. Beeswax can vary in color from yellow to black, as the pollen carried by the bee affects the coloration. Our beeswax comes in white pastille drops, as it has been filtered and cleaned. Filtering the wax makes it free from insect body parts and stingers. Approved for cosmetic applications. All Natural.
Beeswax has the same sweet, smokey odor as a beehive and will impart many wonderful properties to body-care products. Beeswax is not an emulsifier so do not use it as a substitute for emulsifying wax in a lotion or cream recipe. Lip balms and candles also use beeswax. Cold process soap makers should add beeswax with the other solid and liquid fats when melting, do not wait for trace.
Our beeswax comes in an easy to use bead or prill form and is a light yellow. Beads are larger pieces of beeswax, like small chocolate chips. Prills are smaller and will melt more quickly because of their smaller size. Both are pure beexwax. No more chipping away at a large block!
If you need help to thicken a sugar scrub please do this: to 1 pound (450 grams) of your oil mixture add 2 to 4 grams of beeswax. Melt the beeswax into the oils and then allow to cool. Use this premixed oil mixture as your formula requires. If you want to use less wax then see Candelilla Wax or Carnauba Wax for details.
