Let’s dive into how you can make the most of your sample!

1. What Are Beeswax Pearls?

Beeswax pearls, also known as pellets, are small, uniform pieces of refined beeswax that melt quickly and evenly. Their convenient size makes them ideal for small projects or testing out recipes before committing to larger batches.

2. How to Melt Beeswax Pearls

To begin, you’ll need to melt the beeswax pearls. Here’s a quick guide:

• Prepare Your Workspace: Use a double boiler or a heat-safe container placed in a pot of simmering water. Avoid direct heat, as beeswax can scorch easily.

• Heat Gradually: Add the beeswax pearls to your double boiler and melt slowly over low to medium heat. Stir gently to ensure even melting.

• Monitor Temperature: Keep the temperature below 180°F to maintain the beeswax’s quality and natural aroma.

3. Ideas for Using Your Sample

A. Make a Simple Novelty Candle

Creating a candle is a fantastic way to get started with your beeswax pearls. Here’s what you’ll need:

• A small mold

• A piece of square braided wick

Instructions:

1. Melt the beeswax pearls as described above.

2. Place the wick in the center of the mold.

3. Pour the melted beeswax into the mold.

4. Let it cool completely before trimming the wick and lighting your candle.

B. Craft Beeswax Wraps

Beeswax wraps are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap. Here’s how to make a small wrap using your sample:

5. Let it cool, and your wrap is ready to use!

C. Create Lip Balm

Beeswax is a key ingredient in nourishing lip balms. With just a few household ingredients, you can whip up a small batch:

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp beeswax pearls

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tsp shea butter (optional)

• A few drops of essential oil (optional)

Instructions:

1. Melt the beeswax pearls, coconut oil, and shea butter together.

2. Remove from heat and stir in the essential oil.

3. Pour into a small container and let it cool before use.

D. Polish Wooden Surfaces

Beeswax makes an excellent natural wood polish:

Instructions:

1. Melt the beeswax pearls and mix with an equal part of mineral oil or olive oil.

2. Apply the mixture to wooden surfaces with a soft cloth and buff to a shine.
