5LB Yellow Beeswax Pellets Food Grade Beeswax Triple Filtered Beeswax for Candle Making Beeswax Pastilles for DIY Creams Lotions Lip Balm Soap

Good quality and easy to use
So I am a chef and during the pandemic I was out of work, so I started doing some private events. I decided that I could make my own cutting boards for the events and started researching the best conditioners for the boards. Then I decided to make my own using a combination of Mineral Oil and Beeswax.Originally I was getting beeswax in bricks that kind of looked like gold bricks and I was chopping them up myself. Once I found out I could get these pellets, it changed the game completely. It makes it so much easier when the beeswax is in smaller pieces and these are so much smaller than I ever chopped them.Since I had all this beeswax, I decided to make some candles and then I figured I could also make some of those reusable food wraps.I keep finding ways to use more beeswax. This wax just smells really good, so I really like messing around with new beeswax projects. This is also such a good price for the amount and quality, I don’t stress out too much about using it.

This is not pure beeswax
I really hate giving low reviews and I have debated on if I should, but I think other buyers should know. They get one star for Amazon’s delivery being on time. This was on sale so I thought I would give it a try, even though others claimed it wasn’t pure beeswax. The claim is that it’s organic cosmetic grade beeswax. Well, you can tell by looking at the pellets that it isn’t. If you have never used real beeswax before then you could totally be fooled. I made taper and pillar candles with the wax. First, you can smell the wax through the box and plastic bag. It’s a chemically, plastic smell that’s masked in like baby powder scent or something. It’s terrible and you can smell it across the room. Then, the finished product is VERY shiny and super hard/flakey. When I took them out of their molds and sat them down it sounded like hard plastic hitting the table.I would not put this in or on my body. I’m a little concerned about burning it because I have no idea what’s in it. I’m considering having the wax tested before doing anything else with it.If the company can produce a REAL report stating that it’s what they claim, then I will just chalk it up to a difference in regions/flowers and accept it. If not, or if my testing comes back saying something different I will report them. I’m tired of the toxins and poisons that are allowed in cosmetics, food, health products, etc…and the lies.If you are cool with all of this then get you some.

Smells good and worth it for the price
I’ve been making solid perfume and I plan to use these beeswax pellets soon. They are small in size and do not stick together which it would be helpful in my perfume making as it should melt quickly and solidify nicely. Good thing is the smell is not too strong so it shouldn’t overpower the perfume I make. Worth it! I even weighted it to make sure and it was exactly 5lbs!

Good for the price!
I am not a beeswax expert but this wax doesn’t feel like beeswax. It doesn’t have that lovely honey smell like other waxes do. It melted way kind of fast (compared to Bramble Berry premium wax) and the color was lighter. It also doesn’t feel as hard and it took longer to harden in the mold. It just feels weird to me. I am still going to use it though and I may purchase again because it’s a good value for the $$$*Please seal the bags completely, I had some pellets fly off as I was opening the box *Second picture shows:Honeycomb to the left was made using brambleberry waxHoneycomb to the right was made using this wax.Not sure if you can tell the difference.
