Yellow Beeswax Pellets (1 lb) | 100% Pure, Cosmetic Grade, Triple-Filtered Beeswax for DIY Skin care, Lip Balm, Lotion, and Candle Making

I read so much on many different brands of beeswax about the unpleasant smells that I was concerned but gave the Beesworks pellets a try. Yes it has a odor. But guess what, not 2 days after using the Beesworks wax, we harvesting an abandoned bee hive that took over a squirrel box in our back yard....GUESS WHAT! The inside of the squirrel box was filled with honeycomb smelled exactly like the Beesworks wax pellets.......and I mean EXACTLY even in it natural state (see picture) in the box. Its somewhat of a neutral smell and one I cannot place from memory. My wife says it smells like wax.I used the Beesworks wax to combine with mineral oil to make a lotion for cutting boards. This beeswax is stated to be cosmetic grade which does not mean food preparation safe but as it is used to make lip balm I feel safe that any minute residue picked up from a cutting board is certainly less then one consumes when applying directly to the lips. The small beans of wax make it easy to measure out and it melts quickly.To make cutting board lotion, it was suggested a ratio of 4 parts food safe mineral oil to 1 part beeswax but I found that 6 to 1 was a better consistency for me and allowed it to be used with a bottle with a finger pump. Heated in a jar placed in simmering water the beeswax melted quickly and combined entirely with the mineral oil. While hot the wax oil mix was completely clean and clear, no debris was visible in the liquid and when cooled made a mildly yellow opaque lotion (see picture). AFter applied to the wood, I did not smell the same odor as when opening the bag. The concoction does not absorb completely into the wood cutting board and leaves a film unlike just pure mineral oil. I think I will experiment with even more dilutions of the beeswax as im not happy with the film the 6:1 concoction leaves and perhaps even add some lemon scent to it.

I was worried about buying beeswax for my tallow balms because others talk about the smell or that it doesnt work properly but this brand works GREAT. No weird smell and works exactly as I needed it to. Great product

The beeswax was quick to melt and set up easily. I’ve had other beeswax that did not melt so easily. It was a good product and I would use it again.

So I know a lot of ppl wanna make homemade Sunscreen, so I'll talk about it here too. This was adds no color to the sunscreen. I use 11tbspn coconut oil, 2.75-3.5tbspn wax, 10tsp non-nano zinc oxide, 1/8 tsp almond extract, and 1/4 tsp coconut extract. Everything needs to be mixed very well, so it takes hours to make it, it has a light scent, but it's washed out by the extracts. It's actually fine to make sunscreen, it's something so simple and innocent. I suspect that the wax would work for candles, so it's versatile. It's cheap for the amount. Even in summer, it didn't melt together in the bag by accident.

The quality of the wax was good, it was pure and the pellets were consistant. The packaging was clean and I liked the product.I did have a couple concerns that were not related directly to the product but more to reason I was purchasing it, so I will share. I originally purchased this product to use in lip balms. Lots of recipes directed to beeswax being the best choice so I wanted to try it out. What I found was that there were 2 big problems that I did not have with the white beeswax that I purchased. 1. The color was a challenge, it of course is yellow and made it a bit difficult to get the right color for some of the balms I made. 2. There is a flavor. I'm not sure how to describe it. I use Burts Bees chapstick all the time and I didn't notice the same thing I found with this. It was exceptionally difficult to overcome that flavor/scent. I did not have that trouble at all with the white beeswax.Not that any of the issues I had meant there was a problem with the product itself, just that if you are using it for making lip balms, you may get better results with a white beeswax

Works great

I bought this to make salves. It turned out well! The smell is very subtle, I really had to sniff the bag to smell anything of note. Overall I'll definitely get this again when I run out.

made ear stretching balm and body butter with this. smells and melts awsome. thank u!
