White Beeswax Granules (Organic)

Organic White beeswax is a refined version of yellow beeswax, known for its distinct characteristics that make it valuable for various applications. Its key properties:

Color and Appearance:

• Creamy white: Unlike yellow beeswax’s golden hue, white beeswax has a pale, creamy white color due to the bleaching process that removes natural pigments like carotenes.

Odor:

• Virtually scentless: White beeswax undergoes filtration or bleaching, which significantly reduces its honey-like aroma characteristic of yellow beeswax. This makes it ideal for products where a neutral scent is preferred.

Texture:

• Soft and Ductile: White beeswax is generally softer and more pliable than yellow beeswax at room temperature. This makes it easier to work with for molding or shaping into desired forms.

Melting Point:

• Slightly Higher: The bleaching process can slightly elevate the melting point of white beeswax compared to yellow beeswax. This can be a desirable feature for some applications, such as candles, where a slightly higher melting point can lead to improved burning characteristics.

Chemical Composition:

• Similar to Yellow Beeswax: Despite the color and slight texture differences, organic white beeswax retains a chemical composition similar to yellow beeswax. It primarily consists of long-chain esters, hydrocarbons, and free fatty acids.

Applications:

• Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals: White beeswax’s neutral color, odorless nature, and smooth texture make it a popular ingredient in lotions, salves, lip balms, and various cosmetic formulations. It acts as a thickening, emulsifying, and protective agent.
• Food Processing: White beeswax can be used as a coating for cheese to prevent mold growth and enhance shelf life. It’s also sometimes used as a glazing agent in certain food applications.
• Candles: While some candle makers prefer yellow beeswax for its rustic look, white beeswax offers a clean-burning alternative suitable for scented candles or applications where color is not a primary concern.
• Polishes and Restoration: White beeswax can be used in furniture polishes or wood finishes due to its ability to create a protective layer and enhance shine.
• Art and Hobby: White beeswax finds applications in art creation like sculpting or encaustic painting due to its malleability and ability to hold its shape when cooled.

Overall, white beeswax offers a versatile set of characteristics, making it a valuable material across various industries. Its neutral color, lack of odor, and smooth texture allow for diverse applications where these properties are beneficial.
