Beeswax Alchemy: How To Make Your Own Soap, Candles, Balms, Creams, And Salves From The Hive

Modern beekeepers - take notice! Here we have the answer to one of the most common questions related to beekeeping: what do I do with all of this beeswax? In fact, the possibilities are seemingly endless! As beeswax has multiple holistic and decorative uses, projects can vary from beauty and health products to household items. Beeswax Alchemy is your first step towards using excess beeswax to make beautiful, useful gifts for friends, family, and even yourself. It offers a basic introduction to the art of extracting and purifying beeswax, as well as countless ideas for what to make with it. These include skin care creams, candles, and other home products like beeswax ornaments and wax fabric. So, get ready to suit up and collect some beeswax. There's so much that you can do with it - and now you know how!"This is the book I've been waiting thirty years for. It has absolutely everything beeswax--candles (and bless you Petra for the info on wicks), balms (to make you pretty), creams (to heal both body and soul), soaps (so much on soap!), and many, many home products to make and use every day! Excellent instructions. Bountiful information. Beautifully done." - Kim Flottum, beekeeper; author of The Backyard Beekeeper, Better Beekeeping, The Backyard Beekeeper's Honey Handbook; and editor of Bee Culture magazine

Pillar Candles Pillar candles are the longest burning candles. Even shorter 3 x 4 inches (7.5 cm x 10 cm) pillar candles have been known to burn for sixty hours or more, making them well worth the investment in beeswax. View larger

Solid Lotion Bars My aim when making a solid lotion bar is to find a balance between emolliency and skin feel. View larger

Soap Why put beeswax in soap? Beeswax helps make the soap emollient and creates a hard bar that lasts longer in the shower. View larger
