Our Texas Beeswax is 100% pure and comes from Texas apiaries. This beeswax is rich and has a strong natural honey smell. Beeswax is most noteworthy for its properties that form a protective barrier on skin to repel environmental assaults while holding in moisture and reducing dryness. It helps keep the skin clean, hence reducing the risks of contamination. It is a great ingredient for your skin care creations including lip balms, moisturizers, healing salves, body butters, and more. Our Texas Beeswax comes in a solid 1lb block. If you are not using the whole pound at once you can simply shave off the amount needed using a kitchen style grater. You will find this beeswax is extremely soft and velvety with a delicious natural smell of honey. Beeswax itself was found in the tombs of Egyptian rulers dating back to 3000 BC, it is a priceless ingredient for skin care. Packaging may vary slightly as shown in picture.
