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.

Good value. Product as expected

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

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.
