Product Description
Our White Beeswax is a premium, all-purpose wax, derived from the natural secretions of honey bees and gently refined to remove its yellow colouration. It is processed in the EU from imported wax of varying origins. This filtered and pelletised wax is ideal for a variety of cosmetic, personal care, and candle making applications, offering ease of use and exceptional performance.
White Beeswax is particularly valued in lip balms, skincare, haircare products, and natural formulations, where it functions as a natural emollient and humectant, helping to lock in moisture, soothe dry skin, and provide a protective barrier. With a low melting point, it blends seamlessly into creams, lotions, balms, and salves, enhancing texture and stability in formulations.
Thanks to its versatility and refined purity, White Beeswax is a trusted ingredient for cosmetic formulators, DIY creators, and natural product manufacturers looking for a high-quality, easy-to-use wax for their formulations.

Frequently asked questions
What is white beeswax?
It is beeswax (INCI: Cera Alba) from honeybee hives that has been heated, filtered and decolourised, then pelletised. The result is a pale, low-odour wax that will not tint or scent your formulation.
Should I use white or yellow beeswax?
Choose white beeswax for creams, cosmetics and candles where a clean colour and neutral scent matter. Yellow beeswax suits rustic balms, wraps and candles where the natural golden colour and honey note are welcome.
Is white beeswax vegan or food safe?
It is suitable for food use, subject to the usual formulation considerations, and for vegetarians, but not for vegans as it comes from bees. It is gluten free, GMO free and palm free.
What pack sizes are available?
From 500g up to 1000kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
