Reduce your use of plastic wrap and bags

Incorporate our Beeswax Food Wraps into your kitchen and day to day life. These beeswax wraps are made from 100% cotton, beeswax, pine resin and Jojoba oil. The resin makes them slightly sticky to provide a means of sealing a container or sandwich without using plastic saran wrap and ziplock bags.

The 8" size is intended to cover leftovers in a bowl in the fridge and the 12" for sandwiches or your favorite piece of cheese or leftover pizza.

Your beeswax wrap can be washed in the sink, since beeswax melting point is 160F warm soapy water is fine. We do not recommend wrapping red meat or seafood. The expected use is 12-18 months.

Beeswax wraps are a sustainable and reusable alternative to plastic wrap, helping to reduce waste while keeping your food fresh. With proper care, these wraps can last up to a year or more, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice. However, since they are made from natural materials like beeswax, cotton, and tree resin, they require gentle handling to maintain their effectiveness.

Below are some simple yet essential steps to ensure your beeswax wraps remain functional and fresh for as long as possible.

Why Beeswax is the Perfect Natural Choice for Food Storage

Beeswax has been valued for centuries for its natural protective properties, making it an ideal choice for food wraps. Derived from honeybee hives, this organic substance is known for its durability, flexibility, and ability to create a breathable yet water-resistant barrier. Unlike synthetic materials, beeswax does not contain harmful chemicals or additives, ensuring that food stays fresh without exposure to toxins. With the slight natural tackiness of pine resin allows wraps to seal securely around bowls, containers, and food items without the need for adhesives. This combination makes beeswax an effective and sustainable alternative to single-use plastic wrap.

One of the key reasons beeswax is so effective in food preservation is its antimicrobial and antifungal properties. These natural defenses help prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, extending the shelf life of perishable items. Additionally, beeswax maintains its integrity over time, allowing wraps to be reused for months with proper care. Unlike plastic, which can trap excess moisture and accelerate spoilage, beeswax wraps provide a breathable environment that helps maintain the right balance of humidity for different types of food. Whether used to cover leftovers, wrap cheese, or store produce, beeswax-based wraps offer a safe, natural, and eco-friendly way to reduce waste while keeping food fresh.

Kept my bread fresher than with a plastic ziplock bag, which I’m still surprised by. I haven’t tried wrapping cookies or leftovers in a bowl yet (I have glass containers), but I’m sure the wrap would be great with that as well!
