White Beeswax

Equivalence table (measuring spoons and scoops available from Aroma-Zone) (tablets) * level: 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), or even more, 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 only wax in balms, mixed with oils and butters: hardens and increases the film-forming power of your balms.

• Use alone, without emulsifier, to make "Gallien cerate" type creams: the wax helps to "hold" the emulsion by thickening the oil phase. However, it is difficult to make emulsions using only beeswax. These emulsions will be unstable over time and will also feel quite heavy and very film-forming. To make stable emulsions easily, we recommend using an emulsifier (see our emulsifiers here) and adding wax for a protective and nourishing effect.

• 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.

• In combination with other waxes (carnauba, candelilla) in lip balms and lipsticks.

• Alone or in combination with soy wax in candles.

• 150 ml of Calendula oil macerate

• 25 g of grated beeswax

Method: Melt the wax in the oil in a double boiler and mix. Pour into a wide-mouthed jar and leave to cool and set. Storage: Store the balm away from light and heat, and use it for cosmetic emergencies (irritation, itching, redness, rashes, and inflammation).

• Olive oil: 75 ml

• Beeswax: 10 g

• 12 fresh scented geranium leaves

• Geranium essential oil: 10 drops

Method: Melt the wax in the olive oil in a double boiler. Place the leaves in a glass jar (with a lid). Once the beeswax has melted, pour the mixture over the leaves. Close the jar and leave to infuse for 3 weeks. Then remove the mixture from the container, reheat it in a double boiler and strain it. Leave to cool, add the essential oil and stir before pouring into a sterilized container.

• Oil of your choice: 3 tablespoons

• Beeswax: 2 teaspoons

• Petitgrain or Rosemary essential oil: 4 drops

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. When the mixture is clear and smooth, remove the bowl from the double boiler and add the essential oil off the heat. Stir continuously with a whisk to ensure the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture into a jar while it is still fairly runny.

• Beeswax: 1 teaspoon

• Sweet almond or sunflower oil: 1 tablespoon

• Liquid honey: 1/2 teaspoon

• Oil of your choice: 50 ml

• Beeswax: 2½ teaspoons

• Liquid honey: 1 teaspoon

• Petitgrain or rosemary essential oil: 6 drops

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. When the mixture is clear and smooth, remove the bowl from the double boiler and add the honey and essential oil off the heat. Stir continuously with a whisk to blend well. Pour the mixture into a jar while it is still fairly runny.

• Beeswax: 10 g

• Glycerin: 5 g

Method: Heat the wax, vegetable oils, and shea butter in a double boiler. Mix the glycerin and essential oils in a container. When the wax has melted, remove from the heat immediately. 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 coconut oil

• 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
