Organic Yellow Beeswax

For batches with irregular pieces, no equivalence is possible; measure in grams * level: a spoon filled to the brim with the excess removed using a spatula or the back of a knife

• In balms and sticks : 1 to 10% (of the total weight of your preparation) to be added to the oil phase

• In emulsions (creams) : 1 to 5% (of the total weight of your preparation) to be added to the oil phase - generally 1 to 3% will give the best results

• Use as the sole wax in balms or sticks, mixed with oils and butters: thickens and increases the melting point and film-forming properties.

• In combination with other waxes (candelilla, beeswax) in sticks, lipsticks, and makeup pencils to harden them and improve their hold.

• In combination with an emulsifier : adding a small amount (1-3%) of wax to an emulsion thickens it and increases its stability and film-forming power.

Important notes from Aroma-Zone: Beeswax acts as an emulsifier here, helping the emulsion to "hold". However, for a much more stable and easier-to-make emulsion, we recommend using an emulsifier. In addition, to ensure the preservation of this preparation, we recommend adding a preservative.
