Directions

FOR LIP PRODUCTS: Melt vegan wax in double boiler or small pot on low heat. Once melted, add solid butters. Remove from heat. Add liquid oils and flavor oil. Mix well. Pour into lip tubes, small jars or other lip product packaging. FOR LOTION BARS: Melt vegan wax in double boiler or pot on low heat. Once melted, add solid butters. Remove from heat. Add liquid oils and fragrance. Mix well. Pour into mold or lotion bar container at an appropriate temperature for mold or packaging. Allow mixture to solidify. FOR AIR FRESHENERS: Melt equal parts vegan wax and palm kernel flakes (102º melt) in a small pot on low heat. Remove from heat. Incorporate fragrance. Pour into mold at an appropriate temperature for the mold. Allow mixture to solidify. Unmold and enjoy. FOR CP SOAP: Use at about 1-3% of your oils and calculate with your oils in a lye calculator. Vegan Wax has a high melt point so raise the temperature of the oils to about 160ºF or 170ºF before mixing it in. It is necessary to soap hotter, around 120ºF, and be prepared for accelerated trace.

Warning

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Use caution when melting—hot wax may cause burns. Keep out of reach of children. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight.

Best wax for my Vegan Deodorants

"Only the best ingredients to make best deodorant recipe."

— Alma H. (5/5)

Lovely green floral, but. . .

"If you like fresh green scents and breezy, springtime floral fragrances, this is a good one to try. It is a very pleasant fragrance, well balanced between the green and the floral; it is not overly floral or old smelling, but lovely and feminine. It soaped well for me and a week after making in cold process soap, the scent retention thus far is nice and strong and the colors are staying true. I used lavender, greens and titanium dioxide for white; thankfully, I am not noticing any of WSP's reported discoloration. The only issue I have is that WSP sells their fragrances by volume instead of weight. Thinking the 4 oz. bottle should at least be somewhat close to the net wt. , I originally thought the price wasn't bad. I weighed out the fragrance before planning my batch though; I am glad I did. The 4 fl. oz. bottle is only 3. 4 oz. net wt. ! Customers cannot properly gauge the cost of fragrances like this, nor plan their making when ordering fragrances by volume. I realize it is easier for WSP to go by bottle size (volume), but it seems it would be more honest to include the net wt. as well, especially given the fact that their wonderful recipes on the website, go by weight, not volume, so they know how important that is to us all! Thank you for a lovely fragrance and hopefully shortly down the road, fragrances sold by weight!"

Great Alternative

"Vegan beeswax is a great alternative to non-vegan beeswax. It works just as well. Depending on what you are making, you may need a little more or a little less than the non-vegan."

— Marie (5/5)

— Susan (5/5)

"Works great in my lotion bars! I am not sure what else to make with it, but it makes my lotion bars very nice!!"

Q&A

Can this be used as an alternative to the emulsifying wax used in making lotions?: You can't swap out emulsifying wax for beeswax because beeswax isn't an emulsifier. This means it won't effectively combine water and oil to form a stable emulsion like emulsifying wax is meant to do. If you use beeswax instead, you're likely to end up with a mixture that separates in your product.
In reference to using it in vegan wax melts, is this better than using the candelilla wax alone? If my recipe called for 10% beeswax would I substitute it 1 for 1 or is it like regular candelilly and is 2xs as hard as beeswax?: If you're replacing 10% beeswax with the Beeswax Vegan Alternative, you can typically substitute it 1:1. It will likely give you a more beeswax-like result than using candelilla wax alone, which is typically much harder.If you use candelilla wax alone, be aware that you may need to adjust the formulation because it will make your wax melts harder and more brittle. Depending on your final texture and performance preferences, you might also experiment with mixing candelilla wax and the Beeswax Vegan Alternative for a balanced effect.
Is this wax compatible with soy butter?: You will need to test this.
Looking to make skin products for my daughter who is vegan. I see you don't carry Sunflower wax and was looking at this as an alternative. Can you provide verification from the supplier on the sourcing of this product?: Our manufacturer does not provide sourcing for the product's ingredients.
My business is plant based, vegan niche. I am looking at this wax but I was also wondering if there is a way we can obtain verification of some sort that this product is in fact vegan and biodegradable? This is a product that I am wanting to present to those that are looking to fund my business and we are putting a lot of emphasis of being vegan and eco-friendly.
