Your Natural Planet BEESWAX PELLETS, YELLOW,1lb-Cosmetic Grade-Triple Filtered Beeswax

Nice firm and clean 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.

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 purchased this bag of beeswax pellets over a year ago. After a year the pellets seemed exactly the same. In the beginning I made several items with it, lip balms and salves, with much success. Yesterday, I decided to make a test candle with it. I have never made a candle before and was very pleased with the results. I ended up making a few. I burnt the test candle that evening, the glow was beautiful and the natural smell was lovely. It burned beautifully and more evenly than most store bought candles. I am not really sure how to describe it since I have never had a candle like it before. It seemed calming and just pleasant. I am so glad I tried making a candle…now I am buying more! I’m not sure I can go back to those big chain store candles now!
