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

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

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.

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.

As a key ingredient in my homemade natural sunscreen, this Beeswax was a delight to work with. Its high-quality and ease of use really made a difference in creating a cohesive, well-textured sunscreen.Here’s the simple recipe I followed:• 1 oz Grass-fed Tallow• 1 oz Coconut Oil• 1.5 oz Avocado Oil• 1/2 oz Beeswax• 1/2 oz Shea Butter• 2 tbsp Non-nano Zinc Oxide• 1/2 tbsp CacaoCombine all these ingredients in a double boiler and melt until well combined. After everything is smoothly incorporated, pour the mixture into a glass container and let it cool.The Beeswax played a vital role in this recipe. It served as a natural binder, bringing all the ingredients together to create a smoothly textured, easily spreadable sunscreen. Moreover, it helped to add a bit of water resistance to the product, a bonus for those beach or pool days.

Really like it! It has a slight floral scent to it. My aromatherapist has beeswax in a solid block form and hers is a deep honey color and it smells like honey I absolutely love hers but I don't have the patience to grate a brick of beeswax every time I go to make a lotion, deodorant or any other product so I'll sacrifice the great smell for the convenience of the pellets. At the end of the day I add essential oils to my products for their individual properties and that overpowers the floral scent of the beeswax anyway. I love how easy it melts (now that it's hot I just put all of my ingredients in a glass jar and set them outside but not in direct sunlight and within an hour the Southwest sun has melted them to liquid and I don't need to stand by a pot of boiling water). It's easy to measure and work with. I much prefer pellets to the 1 oz bars I used from another seller last time. I usually don't need 1 oz at a time for what I make and cutting bars down isn't as precise and gets messy. Will definitely be ordering again when I run low.

I've made several batches of lip balm with this beeswax and it's been great to work with. I've been very pleased with how my lip balm has turned out and the pellets haven't stuck together or clumped in spite of storing it in a closet for long periods of time between uses.

Absolutely great for candles, skincare products you choose to make, and so on.

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.
