How to use

Gently warm the Beeswax until it melts, so that it can be reformed. Beeswax melts around 62 - 64c. Avoid heating the Beeswax above 80c to prevent discolouration of the wax. You can warm the Beeswax with carrier oils and mix thoroughly whilst molten to create sophisticated skincare balms. Essential Oils should be added during the cooling phase (under 30c) to avoid the oil buring off and to acheive maximum effect.

Beeswax can be combined with water with the use of emulsifiers. We recommend a combination of Stearic acid, Cetyl alcohol and Glyceryl stearate to form a stable emulsion.
