White Beeswax

White beeswax is natural beeswax that has been refined and bleached through physical processes to remove its yellow color and characteristic honey scent. It retains all the functional properties of natural beeswax but with a neutral profile that makes it perfect when you need a clean base for cosmetics, custom fragrances, or unscented products.

It is the ideal choice for professional cosmetic formulators, candle makers who want full control over the aromatic profile, and artisans seeking pure white finishes.

❓ Frequently asked questions:

Is it worse than the yellow one because it is processed? It is not "worse," it is simply refined. It retains functional properties, only losing aroma and color. Choose depending on whether you want the honey scent or not.

Can I use it in baby products? Yes, it is very common in baby products precisely because it is neutral and gentle.

Can it be dyed with colorants? Yes, its white color makes it ideal as a base for pastel or pure white colors.

How long does it last in cosmetic formulations? The wax itself is very stable. The duration will depend on other ingredients (oils, water, actives). Use preservatives if you add water.
