DESCRIPTION
All hail Queen Bee: 100% pure Beeswax Beads (Yellow) are 100% worth buzzing about. Beeswax Yellow is a pure natural wax secreted by honeybees. It can perform many different functions, acting as a thickener, texturizer, emulsifying agent, moisturizer, and skin protectant, among other uses. Some popular applications lie in candle making, skin care, hair care, and cosmetics.
The intriguing behavior and versatility of pure Beeswax arise from its unique chemical makeup, known to be composed of roughly 300 different constituents including fatty acid esters, fatty alcohols, and free fatty acids. Its complex properties afford formulators an exceptional means of creating and manipulating both texture and viscosity for a more functional and appealing end product, from silky creams to elegant pillar candles.
This 100% natural wax is GMO-free. Its color is subject to natural variations ranging from light yellow to yellow depending on the batch. Customers can get either color depending on the availability. Color may also appear lighter over time due to a number of factors, including exposure to light, heat, or the presence of efflorescence, which occurs naturally in beeswax when minor components migrate to the surface to create a hazy appearance.
Bead size: 4 to 5 mm (.15 in).
DIRECTIONS & SUGGESTED USAGE
- Buzzy Lip Balm: To make beeswax lip balm, combine 2 tbsp each of Beeswax Beads – Yellow pastilles, Shea Butter, and Coconut Carrier Oil in a double boiler, stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat while keeping the bowl in hot water and stir in up to 30 drops of your preferred essential oil. Quickly fill lip balm tubes with the blend using a medicine dropper before it hardens. Let the tubes cool and harden completely before capping.
- Comb with Honeycomb: To make a pomade for shiny, silky hair, melt 2 tbsp Beeswax pastilles in a double boiler, then stir in 3 tbsp of a preferred carrier oil until well combined. Remove from heat and add 2 tsp Bentonite Clay and 10 drops of a preferred essential oil stirring continuously. Transfer the mixture into a small container, such as a glass mason jar, and allow it to cool.

Cautions: The melting point of this wax is between 62° and 65°C (143.6° to 149°F). Never melt beeswax over direct heat, always use a double boiler. Beeswax does not boil, it just gets hotter and hotter until it ignites, and then it will burn ferociously.
