Joining our White and Yellow conventional and organic beeswax granules is our latest product is Natural Organic Beeswax in slab form! This new beeswax material goes through a thorough melting, homogenization, and complete filtering process after being obtained from the hives. Due to the nature of this natural product, it can vary in color from white to dark green with a characteristic honey-like aroma and begins melting around 61 °C (142 °F).
Humans have recognized the value and versatility of beeswax for millennia, with evidence of its usage as far back as Ancient Egypt. This material, secreted by bees, makes up the sturdy structure that houses honey and pollen, with its usefulness extending far beyond the hive.
Candle-making is one of the most well-known uses for beeswax. It emits its own natural aroma, yields a relatively long burn time, and burns cleaner than other materials such as paraffin wax. It is used in the production of taper candles, pillar candles, and container candles, either on its own or mixed with other waxes including soy or coconut wax.
Beeswax is a key ingredient in cosmetic and skincare products, advantageous as a barrier to lock moisture in the skin. Formulators opts for beeswax in lotions, lip balms, creams, and soaps for a natural touch and its moisturizing benefits.
In addition to candles and cosmetic applications, beeswax has many industrial uses. Woodworking, leather working, and wax papers all utilize beeswax as a natural finish, for waterproofing and protective properties.
With many consumers opting for natural materials over synthetic ones, beeswax is a preferred sustainable option as it is regularly removed from hives during routine maintenance by beekeepers. Begin your beeswax journey by purchasing these new natural organic slabs from bulknaturaloils.com today!
