Beeswax Yellow Pastilles 1 lb

Beeswax

Pure beeswax is a natural, eco-friendly wax celebrated for its clean burn, long-lasting performance, and beautiful natural aroma. It’s an excellent choice for pillars, tapers, and decorative candles, and it’s also widely used in body care and craft products like creams, lip balms, and salves.

Technical Specifications & Performance Highlights:

Melt Point: ~145–150 °F (62–65 °C)
* Suggested Pour Temperature: ~175 °F after melting
* Fragrance Oil Load: ~6–10% (≈ 1–2 oz per pound)
* Form: Solid pastilles/pellets for easy handling
* Sold In: One-pound increments

Key Advantages:

1) Natural & Eco-Conscious: A renewable, non-toxic wax with a subtle honey scent and golden hue.
2) Clean, Smokeless Burn: Burns brighter and longer than many waxes, with minimal dripping or smoke.
3) Versatile Applications: Beyond candles, beeswax is ideal for lip balms, lotions, creams, wood polish, food wraps, and more.
4) Ideal for Pillars & Tapers: Its hard, slow-burning properties make it perfect for candles without containers.

Best Practices:

* Melt Slowly in a Double Boiler: Beeswax melts fully around 180 °F. Keep the heat controlled.
* Add Fragrance When Hot: Blend fragrance at ~185 °F, stirring for 1–2 minutes.
* Pour Carefully: Cool slightly to ~175 °F before pouring into molds or containers.
* Cure: Allow candles or melts to cure for 3–5 days for best hot throw.

Limitations:

A)Lower fragrance compatibility: the natural honey aroma may affect delicate scents.
B)Wick testing is essential, as beeswax can be harder to wick than soy or paraffin.
