Specifications

Our All Natural Beeswax is ideal for candles, crafts, and hobbies. It comes from hives that are kept away from pesticides and chemicals. This is important, because these substances can accumulate in the beeswax over time. Using All Natural Beeswax ensures that you will not expose yourself or others to accumulated deposits of harmful chemicals that may occur in non-organic waxes. 

Beeswax is used commercially to make fine candles. Purified and bleached beeswax is used in the production of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals including bone wax. Although only about 10,000 tons are produced annually, a variety of niche uses exist, e.g. for shoe polish, furniture polish, and as a component of modelling waxes. 

When mixed with pine rosin, beeswax serves as an adhesive to attach reed plates to the structure inside a squeezebox. Beeswax candles are preferred in most Eastern Orthodox churches because they burn cleanly, with little or no wax dripping down the sides and little visible smoke. Beeswax is also prescribed as the material (or at least a significant part of the material) for the Paschal candle ("Easter Candle") and is recommended for other candles used in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. It is also used as a coating for cheese, to protect the food as it ages. 

As a skin care product, a German study found beeswax to be superior to similar "barrier creams" (usually mineral oil based creams, such as petroleum jelly). It is also used to make Cutler's resin. 

Dansk Farms uses all natural farming methods. Dansk Farms does not use chemical treatments in our hives. Production hives are built and finished with 100% Natural materials. All hives are maintained using natural methods.
