Howemon White Beeswax Pellets 2LB 100% Pure and Natural Triple Filtered for Skin, Face, Body and Hair Care DIY Creams, Lotions, Lip Balm and Soap Making Supplies

My Christmas craft last year was making waxed cotton bags to store homemade sourdough. I haven’t had any luck storing bread in paper or plastic bags, it’s very dry where I live (<10% humidity usually) and my bread just dries out after a day. In a waxed cotton bag, however, it stays soft for a week! I had a small amount of yellow beeswax for a test run, and then bought this 5# box for mass production. The pellets are in a plastic bag inside a box, nothing fancy. The white wax is extra processed, it has no smell to it, not even a slight honey smell, which is fine for my application. It easily melted using an iron - I folded my fabric in half to save time, and put an extra thick layer of wax pellets between the fabric, with parchment above and below. The wax easily permeates both sides of the fabric and the parchment keeps it contained. I did have some leaks on my ironing board, so maybe don’t use your best board cover that you iron clothes/sewing on. It cools quickly, and is cured enough for sewing after 24-48 hours. The waxed fabric did gunk up my sewing machine feeder a little, but I’m confident I can get it off with a hair dryer and some cotton fabric. I haven’t done it yet, but it looks easy to rewax the fabric by repeating the ironing process. My son wanted to make a beeswax candle, so I let him have at it, but we neglected to do any google research (how hard could melting wax be?). SPOILER - Don’t microwave beeswax, it WILL kill your microwave and maybe burn your house down! So anyway we have a new microwave now. The wax melted well in a small jar container placed in a pot of boiling water. Double boiler is the way to go! This isn’t the fanciest wax, and I’m pretty sure it’s from China, but for making a few easy crafts for gifts it worked fine. I personally wouldn’t use this in cosmetics/lotions/creams, just because it’s pretty cheap and not the highest quality. I expect it to store for years with no issue.

Odorless and easy melting. Years ago I tried a different pellet wax and it smelled like chemicals. I was reluctant to try again, but when I lost my local supplier of fresh wax I had no choice. Definitely miss the smell of honey from the fresh local wax, but this will do for now

Very easy to work with for lotions, soaps, balms. Melts smooth, scent free.

Easy to use. Start with a small amounth to get a better understanding and make sure I didn't do anything wrong, I mean how hard is it to melt wax, right? I can always find a way to do something weird. Just use a pot you don't mind making your wax pot and add a few scoops at a time, add more as the wax melts and voila! You have your melted wax ready for the project of your choice!

I will be purchasing this beeswax again in the future. Great to use as a thickening agent in salves. Nice for candles as well. No adverse reactions, great quality and color. Love this product! !!

The beeswax pellets themselves seem fine, although I would question how truly natural they are due to some mild abnormalities. My biggest complaint is that I bought 10 lb and it comes in a non-resalable plastic bag. Something like this is obviously intended for bulk use and potentially would require some amount of storage, so I would assume it should be shipped in something that is resealable. If not, at least a sealable plastic bag would be better served in a bucket with a lid. Consider that one. Considering the price of some of the others, I just assume pay a few dollars extra and have a lid that can be closed

Melted and mixed will. Low odor and the color was light in the balm

Works well in making salves. Would purchase again.

Good value. Product as expected

We are happy with purchase.

The product looks fine, but the product packaging was broken, so it spilled on our floor when we opened the shipping package.

This is not pure beeswax. Smells like chemicals.

I don't know what happened here but I believe it need to arrive in good condition.
