New Zealand Beeswax - Yellow Pellets 500g

Beeswax is a moisture attractant and when used in skin preparations and put on the skin, it draws in moisture, meaning your skin stays moisturised and hydrated for longer. Honest Skincare's beeswax is safe to use in the preparation of cosmetic, candle, skincare and food products.

Characteristics: Light yellow to yellow colour of varying intensity with a fine-grain matt, non-crystalline fracture.  Becomes soft and pliable when warmed by hand.  Odour faint and characteristic of honey. Relative density is about 0.96. Practically insoluble in water, completely soluble in volatile and fixed oils.

Processing: Pure crude cappings beeswax is gently melted over clean un-treated bore water and is then allowed to settle. The molten beeswax is then micro filtered to remove all dross before being passed through a pelletising machine. The pellets which are formed, are cylindrical, 20 mm long and 7mm in diameter. The pellets drop directly from the pelletiser into plastic lined cartons.
