🌿 Natural and Sustainable: Our beeswax blocks are sourced responsibly, ensuring you're using a sustainable and eco-friendly product.
This is pure New Zealand beeswax with no additives, and comes from virgin cappings wax harvested during honey extraction.
Blocks weigh at least 450 grams.
Tip: Beeswax has a melting point of 61 - 65 degrees celsius. To get the best out of our beeswax, do not use more heat than is necessary, and heat only for as long as is required. Use a double boiler to avoid hot spots - excessive heating temperatures or duration can darken beeswax and damage its scent.
Gently refined using only water, heat and filtration, our beeswax retains its natural golden colour and delicious honey scent.
Colour will vary, just as it naturally does in the hive, but will be in the yellow range (ie, not brown or white)
PLEASE NOTE: This product is available ONLY to New Zealand shipping addresses. While most countries do allow imports of pure New Zealand beeswax and we have some of the highest biosecurity standards in the world to support that, we feel that beeswax in its pure form is best bought from local sources to protect bee health.
Whether you're a craftsperson, DIY enthusiast, or simply looking for natural solutions, our beeswax blocks offer endless possibilities for your projects. Explore our collection today and unleash your creativity.
