I'd never used beeswax before and I bought these bars with the intention of making my own toiletry and household products.My order arrived quicker than expected which was great.My first project was home made nail balm from a recipe I found on the internet that looked easy to make.Having done copious research about using beeswax I didn't even attempt to try grating the bars, but cut it into smaller pieces with a sharp knife instead. This wasn't as difficult as I expected from having read a number of blogs, so this was a pleasant surprise.Melting the wax down (which I did by combining with olive and tea tree oils plus shea butter in a bain marie) only took about 5 minutes. Another nice surprise because, again from reading blogs and reviews, I expected this to take ages.The resulting balm is fantastic to use and the amount (using about a third of a bar) will last ages, even with daily use.I'm very heartened by this first experience using beeswax, and am now planning to make lip balm, deodorant, vapour rub and hand cream.Woo Hoo!

I bought this bees wax after seeing a short video that someone had shared on a dog walking Facebook group. The video showed the effect that impacted snow between the paws, and salt deposits on the pads, can have on a dog's paws in winter.The snows clings to the fur between the paws, and freezes into hard lumps, making it painful for dogs to walk. And gritting salt can dry the pads, causing them to crack, which is also very painful. Recipes can be found on the internet to make a protective waxy barrier product, by melting the wax with various oils mixed into it. The mixture is then cooled and allowed to set in shallow containers like plastic lids - and the dogs paws can be dipped in it before venturing out in adverse conditions.Another brilliant use for it is to rub it along the edges of wooden drawers that stick, and have started to wear down. Many wooden drawers, as in pine units and old chests of drawers, run on a piece of wood inside the unit - as opposed to plastic runners with ball bearings. A cheap candle also serves this purpose, but not nearly so well as pure beeswax. Just be careful that the next time you pull the drawer open,it doesn't fly out and empty its contents all over the floor! Likewise beeswax can be used to lubricate wooden sash windows, of the original type in many older houses. By Google-ing uses for beeswax, you will find a multitude of things it can be used around the home - melted and mixed with other products like linseed oil and turpentine, or just melted on its own e.g to loosen a nut from a screw (as the melted wax works it way into and around the screw's thread.I chose this particular wax because it stated that it is best seller, but I've marked it down a star because, according to my precise Weightwatchers electronic scales, four of the bars were very slightly under weight. I expect the producers scales are regularly calibrated, but I'd prefer to see the seller erring on the side of caution by making the bars a fraction overweight in preference to trying to get it spot on.IF MY REVIEW HAS BEEN HELPFUL TO YOU, PLEASE CLICK ON THE 'YES' BUTTON BELOW.

One point to note. I bought this from the seller "Sharp Tech". I cannot comment if the product is identical to all sellers on this page as they can sometimes differ.I got these to mould around a replacement didgeridoo mouth piece. I took a lot of work due to me not having done it before, but the beeswax did its job and I got there in the end.There is a very slight pungent smell to this which you don't notice when it is left out to air, but if storing it in a drawer the smell can build up a little bit. This is no fault of the product as I would expect it from a natural product like this, it's just an observation.I am very happy with this and easily give it 5 stars

I ordered these beeswax sticks in order to refresh our bees wrap fabric, cotton sheets impregnated with beeswax to preserve food instead of clingfilm. Clingfilm is made of plastic, which is actually pretty toxic, and creates more plastic waste. The bees wraps are a great solution to the problem of wrapping food to keep it fresh for longer, but packets of sheets are expensive, and the wax wears off after several uses while washing them (in cold water by hand with a little detergent). I found that you can make your own, or refresh old sheets, by grating beeswax onto a worn sheet and popping it in the microwave for a minute or so. The grated wax melts and soaks into the cotton again, making them like new.

I bought this beeswax to mould a new mouthpiece for a didgeridoo. After warming the wax in hot water it became clear very quickly that the wax was far too brittle to mould. It is not plyable like other beeswaxes I have used previously. Instead it crumbles into tiny slivers and shards. In the end I had to melt the wax completely and build up many layers by coating and cooling.This wax might work great for making candles, but for didgeridoo mouthpieces I'd look elsewhere.
