How to use

Beeswax blocks can be melted or grated depending on the project.

For candle making, melt the required quantity carefully using suitable candle-making equipment before combining it with the other ingredients required by your recipe.

For balms, waxes and cosmetic formulations, grate or cut the beeswax into smaller pieces to help it melt evenly.

For wood or leather care projects, beeswax can be incorporated into suitable homemade polish or conditioning formulations.

Always follow an appropriate recipe for your intended use and take suitable precautions when heating wax. Never leave melting wax unattended.

Frequently asked questions

What can beeswax blocks be used for?

Beeswax blocks are extremely versatile and can be used for candle making, beeswax wraps, wood-care formulations, leather-care products, balms, creams and a wide range of craft projects.

Can I use beeswax blocks for candle making?

Yes. Beeswax blocks can be melted and used for making beeswax candles when following an appropriate candle-making method.

Can beeswax be used for wood care?

Yes. Beeswax is commonly incorporated into furniture polish and other wood-care formulations to help condition and enhance wooden surfaces.

Can beeswax be used on leather?

Beeswax is often used as an ingredient in leather-care products. It should normally be incorporated into an appropriate formulation rather than simply applied without considering the type of leather.

Can I use beeswax for homemade balms?

Beeswax is commonly used to give structure and consistency to balms and similar formulations. Always follow an appropriate recipe for the intended use.

Does natural beeswax have a scent?

Beeswax can have a subtle natural honey-like aroma. Because it is a natural material, the aroma can vary between batches.

Why does beeswax vary in colour?

Natural beeswax can range from pale yellow to deeper golden shades depending on factors such as its botanical source and filtration.

How should I melt beeswax?

Heat beeswax gently using suitable equipment and follow the instructions for the project you are making. Never leave heated wax unattended.

How should beeswax blocks be stored?

Store them somewhere cool and dry, away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.

Why can beeswax develop a white coating?

Natural beeswax can sometimes develop a pale surface bloom during storage. This is a normal characteristic of beeswax rather than necessarily an indication that the wax has spoiled.

Exceptional quality genuine pure beeswax

This is exceptional quality genuine beeswax.

You can tell pure beeswax by the feel, smell and the sound it makes when rubbed.
To check if beeswax is genuine try the following:
Smell it. It should smell natural like pollen mixed with honey. It shouldn’t smell like an artificial chemical flowery smell.
If you rub it with your finger it should squeak like the sound in the video I posted in this review. Genuine pure beeswax shouldn’t leave a greasy residue.
If you press it with your finger you shouldn’t be able to dent it. Pure beeswax is very hard when cold.
Hold it up to the light and check it’s opaque. Natural beeswax isn’t see through and it’s a similar colour to English mustard or the colour of the rating star on this page.

The above are only a guidelines and in some instances one or more may change due to heat, or a slight colour variation caused by a natural residue that can form over time.

Everything about this pure beeswax is exceptional quality from the recycling packaging to the triple filtered purity. The manufacturer is also very caring when it comes to animal welfare and sustainability, making this beeswax a good choice to care for the bees and the environment.

Hopefully this helps you identify genuine pure beeswax and choose the correct product for you.

8 Cute little bars of quality beeswax

Cute little bars of beeswax that melted well and smoothly, with no strong scent.
I chose these as a natural beeswax product of known provenance, as I thought I’d go back to basics to polish a wooden cabinet with the added bonus of the rest of them being suitable to use in body care products and balms too. Wood finish came up beautifully and no chemical headache!
I would definitely buy these again.
Please be wary of some of the cheaper options out there claiming to be pure beeswax, as they have chemical scents, unknown composition, and could be bad for your health.

Packaging smells but otherwise good!

The paper packaging is really smelly but I’ve moved them into a different container and they’re smelling better now. Have only used in a quick salve, grated it, melted well, and results good so far!

Natural and good

Only brought this wax to seal leaks in a whisky ageing barrel. It’s un-scented but does have a slight smell of honey to it so adding it to the barrel is a good thing.

Great bees wax

This is a review for Pure British Beeswax Blocks x 8 100% Natural Organic Bees Wax 180g – Triple Filtered for Making Your own Candles, Leather Polish, Wood Polish, Wax Melts, lotions, balms, Creams & Body Butters

I ordered this bees wax to make some bees wax candles. It was nice to have them arrive with no plastic packaging, always good for the environment.

I started to melt this wax and it melted very evenly and easily. It is high quality bees wax and I feel these are much safer for the environment when burning than some other candle wax brands. Overall, I feel these were good value for money and my candles have turned out amazingly.

This pack can be used for a wide range of things from lip glosses, candles, waxing wood furniture etc.

Brillant Beeswax and good value

I love this Organic Beeswax. I received 8 small blocks in a box padded with straw style padding and I think it's very good value for money.
I am planning to use it to make my own Leather polish for my furniture and bags.
Beeswax can be used for so many different things, Leather polish, wood polish, candles etc etc.
Such a versatile product.
Thank you to the seller and thank you to the wonderful Bees!

Exactly as described. Environmental packaging.

These small ingots of beeswax are just as you'd expect. Pure and with only a slight smell (of beeswax).

The packaging is top grade being all card, and none of the bars were damaged, so no small bits to lose or have to scrape up. Really good for cosmetics. I've used some on wood polishing and it's really excellent stuff.

Lots of crafting options

We’re doing homemade family presents this Christmas, so I ordered these beeswax bars to have a go at creating something from them to gift. The quality of the bars is very good and good to see no plastic in the wrapping, though a tad odd to be packed with wood shavings…

I haven’t made anything with them yet, but am impressed with the quality and the price. I’m thinking candles and lip balm, at the moment and have found some useful sites explaining how to create them.

What I particularly like about beeswax is that it’s completely natural, especially if burned. It doesn’t give off noxious smoke or get on your chest like many do on the market, and what could be nicer than creating your own. I now realise it’s as cheap or cheaper to make them than to buy them and you get the added satisfaction of producing it yourself.

Very happy with this product and am looking forward to making creative products from them. Five stars.

Nice quality

These are a good dark yellow colour and they smell wonderful especially when they are melted. I have used them to replenish my beeswax clothes that are a replacement for clingfilm and have also melted them down to make candles and then fine for both purposes.

Multipurpose beewax

I happened to know that beewax is great at polishing wood. My dinning table & chairs set and the kitchen island are made from solid wood. They need to be looked after from time to time.
These beewax blocks are pure, organic and triple filtered. I am glad I can use them safely without any concerns. I cleaned the furnitures with a soft and damp cloth to remove dust or grease. I heated to soften the beewax block a little bit, and applied it to painted dining chairs and unfinished dining table. I kept buffing the wax until my furnitures shined. Compared to the expensive commercial wood polishing product, beewax is safer to use and smells naturally.
I used 3 blocks to finish the polishing and will keep another 3 for next polishing. I am interested to make candles and lip balm with the rest 2 blocks. It's going to be an adventurous job for me but I would like to have a try.

Great quality

There are so many uses for beeswax and this pack of 8 sticks is of excellent quality. It has a nice hard texture and is easy to use.

I have one block that is used for waxing the wooden back door, as well as drawer runners.
Another used for making waxed wrappers for food.
One for homemade lip balm

The other will be used for lotions or hand cream.

This is three times filtered beeswax so it has a solid colour and contains natural healing properties so is ideal for a gardeners hand cream or balm.

Fabulous product, great price, loved the packaging and I would definitely recommend it.

Beeswax blocks

These are really good, and excellent quality. I finished off the paintwork on my bike with this and it’s come up brilliantly. I find it so multi use for DIY projects, but also cosmetics making. The bar shape is very easy to handle and use.
