Note:Our natural beeswax comes in blocks of 5 to 37 Lbs (2.3 to 17 Kg). Because they are completely natural, sizing of blocks will vary. While most companies round up and profit through this inaccuracy, we bill for the exact weight of the blocks you’ve purchased.
Description:
Pure Beeswax produces a fragrant candle that burns longer and cleaner than ordinary wax candles. In fact, pure beeswax has the highest melting point of any known wax. Its slow, smokeless flame gives off more light and heat than other waxes and there's no dripping. Our Premium Canadian Beeswax is 100% Pure and processed using technology that meets pharmacopoeia standards for use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
Made by industrious honeybees from the nectar of flowers, beeswax has a sweet, natural fragrance all its own. It is produced by bees in the form of tiny scales that are "sweated" from the segments on the underside of their abdomens. To stimulate the production of beeswax, the bees gorge themselves with honey or sugar syrup and huddle together to raise the temperature of the cluster.
Warning: When melting beeswax, always use a water bath by placing the container of wax - probably a small saucepan - inside a larger pan of water. Never place a pan of wax directly on a hot plate or gas ring. Beeswax can easily become damaged by localized overheating and if it ignites, can burn more ferociously than any chip pan fire. Beeswax does not boil - it just gets hotter and hotter until it ignites.

I love this product. It is very pure and has no flaws. The smell is marvelous and it melts very well into my soap mixture. Thank you again to New Directions for their excellent products.

The best I have used yet. The smell is fantastic and no filtration needed. And, as usual, service is very good and efficient.
