Product Description

Our Beeswax Yellow is a premium, 100% pure and natural wax derived from the natural secretions of honey bees. Filtered and pelletised for easy use, this versatile ingredient is a staple in cosmetic, skincare, and personal care formulations.

Beeswax is widely used in lip balms, lotions, salves, creams, and hair care products, thanks to its ability to form a protective barrier on the skin while locking in moisture. It enhances texture, boosts stability in emulsions, and provides a smooth, conditioning effect - making it an essential ingredient for both DIY and professional cosmetic formulators.

With its natural emollient properties and excellent binding capabilities, Beeswax Yellow is the ideal choice for natural and eco-friendly beauty products. Whether you're creating lip care, skincare, or hair treatments, our premium-quality beeswax ensures superior results in every formulation.

Frequently asked questions

What is yellow beeswax?

It is natural beeswax (INCI: Cera Alba) from honeybee hives, gently heated, filtered and pelletised. It keeps its golden colour and soft honey aroma, and is 100% pure with no additives, colorants or preservatives.

What is the difference between yellow and white beeswax?

Yellow beeswax is only filtered, so it keeps its natural colour and honey scent. White beeswax is also decolourised, giving a pale, near-odourless wax for products where colour and scent must stay neutral.

Can yellow beeswax be used in food?

Yes, it is suitable for food use, subject to the usual formulation considerations, which makes it a popular choice for beeswax food wraps and cheese coating. It is gluten free and GMO free; it is not vegan.

What pack sizes are available?

From 500g up to 100kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
