Use as an ingredient in your preparations:
Balms
Sticks and lipsticks
Gloss (texture agent)
Deodorant sticks
Creams and cerates: reduces the slipperiness of rich creams and increases their protective power (film-forming), while stabilizing the emulsion. Particularly useful in "water-in-oil" emulsions or to increase the protective and nourishing power of hand creams or creams for extreme weather conditions.

Balm, Stick, Cream & lotion, Soap, Candle
1 scoop 5 ml (level*) | 3.1 g |
1 scoop 2 ml (leveled*) | 1.4 g |
1 stainless steel spoon TAD (leveled*) | 0.5 g |
For batches with irregular pieces, no equivalence is possible; measure in grams * level: a spoon filled to the brim with the excess removed using a spatula or the back of a knife
In balms and sticks : 1 to 10% (of the total weight of your preparation) to be added to the oil phase
In emulsions (creams) : 1 to 5% (of the total weight of your preparation) to be added to the oil phase - generally 1 to 3% will give the best results
Use as the sole wax in balms or sticks, mixed with oils and butters: thickens and increases the melting point and film-forming properties.
In combination with other waxes (candelilla, beeswax) in sticks, lipsticks, and makeup pencils to harden them and improve their hold.
In combination with an emulsifier : adding a small amount (1-3%) of wax to an emulsion thickens it and increases its stability and film-forming power.

Quality
Raw beeswax from organic hives, 100% pure and natural.
Method of production
The honeycombs built by bees to store honey are melted in hot water. The raw wax is then cleaned and purified by filtration through activated carbon before being made into pellets.
The wax is harvested at the end of the season, along with the honey, and the combs containing the young bees are left untouched. This does not involve destroying the nest, but rather recycling the used combs.
Function
Thickening, film-forming, and hardening texturing agent.
Country of origin
Cameroon
Other names
Cera flava
INCI designation
Cera alba
Composition
A complex mixture of fatty acid wax esters and fatty alcohols, free fatty acids, and long-chain hydrocarbon compounds.
Presentation
A solid wax in irregular pieces or pellets, ranging in color from light yellow to dark yellow, with a pronounced honey scent, packaged in zip-lock bags.
Bees secrete wax to build the hexagonal cells typical of honeycombs. It is in these structures that honey is stored and young bees are raised. To extract the honey, the beekeeper removes the wax caps from the honeycombs. He can then extract the wax by separating it from the residual honey and other impurities by heating it in water.
Since ancient times, when wooden tablets covered with beeswax were used to write messages with a stylus, the properties of beeswax have made it useful in many applications.
Storage
Store at room temperature away from moisture and light. Close the bag tightly after use.
Precautions
Keep out of reach of children, do not swallow, avoid contact with eyes.
Be careful not to burn yourself when handling melted wax.

Leave to cool, add the essential oil and stir before pouring into a sterilized container.
Oil of your choice: 3 tablespoons

Method: Pour the oil into a bowl. Add the beeswax. Place the bowl in a double boiler and stir the mixture from time to time.

Allow to cool for a while, stirring occasionally, then add the essential oil mixture and transfer to a jar. Allow to cool.
Use: This balm can be used as a mask: apply generously to your hands, put on cotton gloves, and go to bed, leaving the balm to work.
Important notes from Aroma-Zone: Beeswax acts as an emulsifier here, helping the emulsion to "hold". However, for a much more stable and easier-to-make emulsion, we recommend using an emulsifier. In addition, to ensure the preservation of this preparation, we recommend adding a preservative.
1 tablespoon of Calendula oil macerate
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
2 tablespoons of sesame oil
50 g grated cocoa butter
10 g beeswax
Up to 20 drops of essential oil of your choice for fragrance

As soon as the liquid comes to a boil, turn off the heat, add the nigella seeds to the saucepan, and let steep for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the mixture has cooled. Melt the beeswax in the oils in a double boiler. Strain the rose hydrosol-based liquid and reheat it until it is roughly the same temperature as the oil and wax mixture. Pour the oil and wax mixture into a bowl, then very gradually add the rose hydrosol-based mixture. Mix with an electric mixer until you obtain a smooth, thick lotion. Pierce the vitamin E capsule and empty it into the lotion. Add the grapefruit seed extract. Pour the mixture into a jar with a screw cap.
