DESCRIPTION
The origin and production is from honeycombs, by centrifugal process when the material is slightly heated, the residual honey is dissolved in water and separated. The congealed melt wax is then removed and the process is repeated to purify. The resulting wax is formed into pastilles.
Used as a consistency in creams, ointments, lipsticks, eye make-up and suppositories. Beeswax as a covering material is a registered additive in the food industry. It has some emulsification properties, whereby Pseudo ”water in oil” type emulsions are produced. When these types of emulsions are applied to the skin, the water evaporates causing a cooling effect and leaving behind the softening and humectancy properties of the beeswax.

Candle Maker's Notes:
Beeswax can be very difficult to wick. When, where, and how it was obtained all factor into how it will perform in candles. With so many variables, it's hard to predict which wick size to use. For this reason, it will take a bit more testing to find the best one for your candles. We generally recommend the ECO series for beeswax.
