Pure Beeswax

Description

While we love the sweet stuff, bees don’t just make raw honey!  Natural, pure beeswax is just as amazing and has as many (or more) uses. This pure beeswax is 100% natural with NO additives, sourced from beehives in Alberta, Canada. Since our beeswax is from rural Alberta bee producers, it is very high quality and low in toxins that might be found in wax near large cities. It requires no preservatives and is lightly heated and minimally filtered to preserve the integrity of the original product. Just as nature intended. Hand-poured with care!

Since this pure beeswax is filtered very little, there can be some pieces of honeycomb or bee parts in this natural product. If you intend to use it for cosmetics, you may wish to pass it through a strainer or sieve to filter it further. You can also use cheesecloth. If you are making candles, you can leave these so-called “impurities” in, as well.
