10 Beeswax Recipes for Beauty and Household Use
A quick note before you begin…
All recipes below use the same directions. In each case, melt beeswax gently and safely using a double boiler. Keep beeswax uncovered while melting — you don’t want boiling water to condense on the lid and drip into your wax. Do not use a microwave — beeswax can easily reach the flashpoint and ignite.
