Product Description
The highest quality beeswax at wholesale prices.
Our beeswax is 100% natural and filtered, cosmetic grade. Each 1 lb block is individually shrink wrapped for your convenience and ease of storage.
Beeswax is the oldest and purest wax in the world. Our beeswax is 100% natural. At honey harvest time the honeycombs are carefully opened to allow for honey to drain from the comb. The bees seal the honey into the combs with wax "capping" placed over every cell filled with honey. This capping is removed at harvest and is used in the production of our beeswax.

 Does not come in honey comb shape and quality isn't as good as I've had. February 5, 2010

Instead of getting a honey comb shaped block as shown in the picture, you get two sticks of wax. I've purchased beeswax locally and it smells more sweet and natural than this beeswax. For those two reasons I'm giving it 3 stars.
Continually learning about beeswax, I learned about pesticides being sprayed in and around the hive, collecting in the wax which makes the wax not ideal (and probably not safe) for cosmetic use (i.e. homemade lotion or lip balm, made by mixing the wax with olive oil). The wax is advertised as "Collected from unsprayed and unfertilized fields of wild flowers", but it does not say if the hive itself is treated with pesticides. I emailed the company asking them if pesticides were used and if it's safe to use the wax for cosmetic purposes, but got no response. I can only assume the the difference in quality of smell with the wax I bought locally is because of the pesticides, plus when I use it as a lip balm I get a weird taste in my mouth. I would recommend looking for an organic beeswax if you plan on using it on your skin.

I usually buy my beeswax locally, but this price was good and I didn't feel like getting on the trolley.
