Are these yellow beeswax pellets safe for lip balms and skin?
Yes – 100% natural, cosmetic-grade, hypoallergenic, and TGA-compliant. Perfect for sensitive skin and edible-safe products.
How do yellow beeswax pellets differ from white ones?
Yellow retains natural colour, honey aroma, and pollen/antioxidants; white is bleached/refined for neutral appearance.
What's the recommended usage in soap or balms?
3-10% in cold-process soap (add to oils); 20-40% in balms for firmness. SAP ~0.069 NaOH – use a lye calculator.
Can it stabilise creams and lotions?
Absolutely – add 5-15% to the oil phase at 70°C for stable emulsions and added protection.
Is this beeswax ethically sourced?
Yes – from Australian apiaries supporting sustainable beekeeping practices.
How should I store it in Australia's hot climate?
In a sealed container at or below 30°C. Refrigeration optional in extreme heat to maintain pellet form.
Can I use it for candle making?
Yes – 100% beeswax for natural golden candles with clean burn and honey scent.
Is it suitable as a vegan alternative?
No – beeswax is animal-derived. Consider candelilla or carnauba for vegan options.
