Beeswax has many uses, that most people aren’t even aware of. Many people associate bees with simply raw honey. Americans do consumer large amounts of honey, a little over one pound per person per year, bees must fly about 90,000 miles or three times around the world in order to produce that much honey. Honeybees can fly as fast as 15 miles per hour, however they will only produce about one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey during their entire life. Honey may be what bees are popular for, but that’s not all bees are good for. Beeswax is another fine thing that we get from honey bees, and beeswax pastilles are becoming more and more useful and popular. Read below to see all the advantages for beeswax, beeswax pastilles and more.
Skin Care and Soap Making
Beeswax is an excellent option for skin products. Beeswax helps skin hold in moisture therefore that makes it a popular option when it comes to making soaps and other skin care products. Organic beeswax or regular beeswax is a highly sought after product for many skin care products.
Scent
Scents are dependent on which type of bee pollen they are derived of. Different types of pollen will produce different types scents. Also the way the pollen was extracted will have an influence on the scent. If smoke was used to gather the pastilles then they can produce a slightly smoky scent when they are melted. A variety of things can affect the way they smell.
Furniture Polish
A small amount of beeswax is used for furniture, therefore beeswax pellets are perfect for this task. Melt the pellets and run the warm melted mixture onto your surface. Let sit for a few minutes and then use another clean cloth to buff furniture. This use is great for scratches and older pieces of furniture, but it’s not good to use everyday. Beeswax can build up on furniture over time so it should be used sparingly.
Beeswax pastilles make working with small amounts of beeswax easier. This is especially helpful for things like lip balm etc. These scoop-able beeswax pellets allow easy addition to your projects.
