Beeswax Block White - Refined

Description

Pure Beeswax is naturally scented and produces a fragrant candle that burns longer and cleaner than ordinary wax candles. Our Beeswax has a light, delightful scent of honey that is not overpowering, making it a wonderful alternative for those who cannot tolerate perfumes and other scents.

Pure beeswax also has the highest melting point of any known wax. It’s slow, smokeless flame gives off more light and heat then other waxes. Our beeswax can be used in many manufacturing processes for many products including candles, cosmetics and soaps.

Our 100% natural beeswax comes as pictured, in a 2 lb block, in a cream to off white color. Our Beeswax is not bleached but instead goes through a natural color removing process. The exact process is proprietary but we believe it involves charcoal filtration.

Beeswax gives emollient, soothing and softening qualities to a soap bar, Beeswax as some antibacterial, antiseptic and wound healing attributes. Also Beeswax will not become rancid and Beeswax can help increase the durability of the soap by making it harder.

When melting beeswax, always use a water bath by placing the container of wax - probably a small saucepan - inside a larger pan of water. Never place a pan of wax directly on a hot plate or gas ring. Beeswax can easily become damaged by localized overheating and if it ignites, can burn more ferociously than any chip pan fire. Beeswax does not boil - it just gets hotter and hotter until it ignites.
