White Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honey bees and purified. It is highly valued not only for candles but also as a key ingredient in cosmetics due to its emollient properties. It helps create the firm texture required in lip balms, lotions, and creams. It naturally contains a high melting point (around 62 to 65 degree C, which results in a long, drip-free burn in candles.
As an emollient, beeswax forms a protective barrier on the skin to help retain moisture and is highly favored in barrier creams. It is hypoallergenic and non-toxic, making it ideal for sensitive skin and safe for indoor use. In candle form, it produces negative ions, theorized to help clean the air. Its dense structure ensures superior stability and longevity in both cosmetic formulas and candle burn time.
Key Features
Due to its high melting point, beeswax is a natural thickening agent for oils and liquids in cosmetic applications. For candle making, it often requires a larger wick size compared to other waxes to ensure a full melt pool and prevent tunneling. It blends well with other waxes, like coconut or soy, to improve their hardness and increase their burn duration.

Candle Use Guidelines
To ensure a steady, clean burn, always use the recommended wick size for your container diameter. Allow a full melt pool to form on the first burn to prevent the characteristic beeswax ‘shelf’ from forming.
