Beeswax Manufacturers & Suppliers : United States
What is Beeswax?
Beeswax is a natural, organic wax made by honeybees from secretions of specialized glands. Harvesters collect raw beeswax from honeycomb, but it often comes with impurities and honey residues. To turn this raw material into high-quality refined beeswax, a special process starts with solvent extraction. This step separates the wax from leftover oils and impurities. Next, the wax goes through thorough refining, which includes filtering, bleaching, and deodorizing, to reach a consistently high purity level. The refined beeswax has excellent qualities, such as a pleasant natural scent, bright color, optimal melting point, and improved stability. These traits make it ideal for various industrial and commercial uses that need high quality and natural sources.
