Pure Beeswax
Clean blocks of 100% pure beeswax which we rendered from our honey comb cappings. This yellow to golden colored beeswax has a natural honey and bee scent perfect for homemade candles, salves, beeswax food wraps, coating plastic foundations used for beekeeping.
Pure beeswax is a natural wax source that melts at 160F as compared to 120F for paraffin or soy wax. Consequently beeswax burns brighter and longer than any other candle wax.
About Our Pure Beeswax
Our Pure Beeswax is carefully harvested from the honeycomb cappings in our hives, delivering a premium, unrefined wax in three convenient sizes: 1-ounce bars, 7.5-ounce bricks, and 1-pound bricks. Each bar and brick is a natural golden color and carries a subtle honeyed aroma, highlighting its purity and quality. Free from synthetic additives and chemicals, our beeswax is a clean and sustainable choice for your projects.
Why Choose Pure Beeswax?
Choosing pure beeswax has many benefits, especially when it’s 100% natural and harvested with care. Here’s why our beeswax stands out:
Superior Burn Quality
Beeswax burns brighter and lasts longer than other waxes, thanks to its higher melting point of 160°F. This means your candles will not only have a longer burn time but also emit a brighter, cleaner flame, enhancing ambiance in any setting.
Eco-Friendly and Natural
Unlike synthetic waxes, beeswax is renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic, ensuring a low environmental impact and a natural alternative for a range of projects. Its purity makes it suitable for both household and personal care applications, including beauty products and food storage solutions.
Hypoallergenic and Chemical-Free
Pure beeswax is naturally hypoallergenic, making it safe for people with sensitivities to synthetic additives, fragrances, or other chemical irritants. It’s a clean, skin-friendly option for crafting items that touch the skin or are kept in close living spaces.
Mild, Pleasant Aroma
Beeswax’s natural, honeyed fragrance enhances its appeal, especially for products like candles and food wraps where synthetic fragrances can be overpowering. The mild scent of honey creates a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and eliminates the need for additional scents.
Versatile Uses for Pure Beeswax
Our Pure Beeswax is perfect for a wide array of applications that make the most of its natural properties. Here are some popular and creative uses:
- Candle Making: Known for its bright, clean burn, beeswax is perfect for natural candles that don’t emit harmful smoke or chemicals. As it burns, it emits a subtle honey scent and produces negative ions that can help purify indoor air, making it a preferred choice for wellness-focused homes and natural candle makers.
- Homemade Salves and Skincare: Beeswax adds structure and a protective barrier to homemade skincare items, such as lip balms, hand salves, and creams. Its natural composition offers gentle moisturizing without clogging pores, making it ideal for sensitive skin or DIY beauty products free from artificial chemicals.
- Reusable Beeswax Food Wraps: Beeswax is a sustainable choice for creating reusable food wraps by applying it to fabric. These wraps can replace single-use plastic wraps, making them an environmentally friendly option for food storage. They can keep food fresh naturally while being washable, reusable, and compostable.
- Wood and Leather Conditioning: When combined with oils like olive or jojoba, beeswax makes an excellent conditioner for wood furniture, cutting boards, and leather items. The wax nourishes and protects surfaces by creating a natural, water-resistant coating that restores and preserves the materials.
- Coating Beekeeping Equipment: Beeswax can be used to coat plastic foundations in beekeeping frames, making the hive more inviting for bees. This natural wax coating helps attract bees and encourages them to build comb more quickly, a useful application for hobbyist or professional beekeepers.
- Eco-Friendly Crafting: Beeswax is a staple for various crafting projects, from modeling wax for children’s crafts to waterproofing cloth items like bags and jackets. Its adaptability makes it a favorite for DIYers looking to create durable, eco-conscious crafts.
Health & Environmental Benefits of Pure Beeswax
Our Pure Beeswax offers more than just practical uses—it also provides significant health and environmental benefits:
Air Purification
Beeswax emits negative ions when burned, which help neutralize airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, and odors. This makes beeswax candles a natural air purifier, ideal for homes that prioritize indoor air quality and those sensitive to artificial scents and chemicals.
Biodegradable & Renewable Resource
Beeswax is a sustainable product with minimal environmental impact. It’s entirely biodegradable, compostable, and derived from natural bee processes, making it a green alternative to petroleum-based waxes like paraffin.
Hypoallergenic & Nutrient-Rich for Skincare
Beeswax is rich in natural compounds that support skin health, including vitamin A, which promotes skin regeneration. It’s widely used in cosmetics and skincare for its ability to lock in moisture, creating a breathable barrier on the skin that protects it from environmental pollutants and irritants. Beeswax is also naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin. It’s a perfect ingredient for people creating personal care items like balms, lotions, and creams.
