Beeswax Pellets, Natural is drained or centrifuged from the combs after the honey has been removed. The combs are melted with hot water, steam, or solar heat and the melted product is filtered and cast into cakes or prills.
Beeswax Pellets, Natural is a easy-to-use pastille form of this natural wax which makes an incredibly efficient thickener for the oily phase of cosmetic formulations. Beeswax is a classic component of Lip Balms and Lotion Bars due to the very high melt point, and in ultra pure and natural emulsions where no traditional emulsifier is used. This was very common when the natural market did not have any other options for natural emulsification but continues to be used even in today's products due to the natural color and odor that Beeswax Pellets, Natural adds to almost any product.
Our Beeswax Pellets, Natural has a very light honey scent and color. Beeswax has a very high melting point, and therefore makes an excellent choice for products marketed in the Southern states.
