Candle Making Notes

Beeswax has a higher melting point than soy or paraffin wax and burns slowly and cleanly with a naturally warm, honey-toned flame. Pure beeswax candles do not require added fragrance — the natural scent is subtle and pleasant on its own. For poured candles, use a larger wick than you would for soy wax of the same diameter. Beeswax also works well for hand-rolled taper candles using beeswax sheets, or blended with soy or coconut wax at 10–30% to add hardness and extend burn time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this 100% pure beeswax?
Yes — this is pure natural yellow beeswax with no additives, bleaching, or blending. The golden yellow color is natural and comes from the honeycomb.

What wick size should I use for beeswax candles?
Beeswax is denser than soy or paraffin, so it requires a larger wick to achieve a full melt pool. Go up 1–2 wick sizes from what you would use for soy wax of the same diameter. Always do a test burn and adjust as needed.

Can I blend this with soy wax?
Yes — adding 10–30% beeswax to a soy wax blend increases hardness, raises the melting point, and extends burn time. It also adds a subtle natural honey note to the finished candle.

Can I use this for lip balm or cosmetics?
Yes — pure yellow beeswax is widely used in lip balm, lotion bars, salves, and solid perfume. It acts as a natural emulsifier and thickener. For cosmetic use, ensure the beeswax is cosmetic-grade — this product is suitable for DIY cosmetic applications.

Does beeswax have a scent?
Yes — natural yellow beeswax has a mild, warm honey scent. It pairs well with floral, vanilla, and warm fragrance oils, or can be used unscented as a naturally aromatic candle.
