ADC Solution White Beeswax is a natural beeswax obtained from honeycombs and further refined to achieve a pale white appearance and a milder characteristic beeswax odour.

White beeswax is typically:

• steam heated;
• hot filtered;
• further purified;
• deodorised;
• bleached.

Its pale colour makes it particularly suitable for candle making where a white or easily coloured wax base is required.

Technical Information

Candle Making

White beeswax can be used on its own or blended with other candle waxes.

In blends it can:

• increase hardness;
• improve structural stability;
• raise the melting point;
• modify surface texture and gloss.

Wick selection must be based on the complete finished formulation.

Wick Selection

Consider:

• candle diameter;
• percentage of beeswax;
• fragrance load;
• dyes;
• candle shape;
• wick construction.

Always confirm performance with a full burn test.

Colour & Odour

White beeswax undergoes additional purification and deodorisation compared with yellow beeswax.

Its characteristic honey / beeswax aroma is therefore generally much milder, making it useful where a neutral-coloured and less aromatic wax is preferred.

Is White Beeswax Vegan?

No.

Beeswax is produced by bees and is therefore considered an animal-derived ingredient.

It may be suitable for vegetarians but not for vegan formulations.
