There have been a lot of inventions on how to conveniently melt beeswaxes. The conventional method works, undeniably. But melting beeswaxes is a lot more convenient with a lot of inventions and variations of beeswax liquefiers and melting tanks to use. These tanks are digitally controlled and are using a stainless steel and highlights insulation for safe and eco-friendly heating processes. Is it really needed? Not really when you’re only needing a small amount of beeswax to melt. But if you’re into the business, it might save you time and energy to invest on a good Beeswax melting tank or machine.

You need clean beeswax to make melts. When buying commercial beeswax – it is usually clean and ready to use but you pay more for the convenience. Put the solid pieces into the smaller bowl. Cut the beeswax into smaller pieces so it’s easier to melt it.Unbleached natural beeswax has a slight honey smell. If you want a different fragrance, choose a strong scent such as peppermint, pine needle or orange. How Much Fragrance Oil to Use in Your Beeswax Melts The type of fragrance oil or essential oil used will play a role in the amount needed. Also, personal preference matters too – you may not want a strong scent. There are numerous styles of electric wax burners to chose from and they may be the safest option. However, some users enjoy the elegant clay burners with tealights.

Most candles (except for hand rolled sheets of beeswax used mostly for decoration) are lit at some point. They are designed to be burned. Pour it out into the molds. Just like the other method, once the wax has completely melted, pour it into the molds that you have prepared for it. This wonderful oil can be used in so many ways. It’s a great idea to keep a small tub on hand. In addition to this project, I use it in my beeswax lotion recipe and my natural beeswax lip balm too! It is wise to begin with a small amount of fragrance – you can always add more. In general, fragrance oil should not exceed 6% or 1 ounce per pound of wax. Using Your Homemade Melts Coconut oil is semi-solid if the room is cool and becomes a liquid when temperatures are warm. But, even when solid it is easy to measure and use. Essential Oils vs Fragrance OilsWhen making beeswax projects, I measure my ingredients by net weight. A simple kitchen scale is perfect for the job. Slowly melt the beeswax over the boiling water. Monitor its state as it melts. Wait for the beeswax to completely melt out, while doing so, look out on the water level, making sure that more water is added in case it starts evaporating. A wide range of essential oils and fragrance oils are used when making homemade wax melts. Color is sometimes added for a visual effect but the focus is always fragrance. Homemade Wax Melts are Safer for Some People Not every spot is suitable for a candle with a live flame. Of course, this does not mean you should not take some precautions. Spilled wax can make a mess – even if you don’t get burned. The easiest and most common way to use your melts is with a burner. They are specifically designed for this purpose and are not subject to over heating. Remember, we only need to melt the wax – it does not need to be boiling hot.

There are so many things that can be done with beeswax. It can be used for skin care, typically for make ups, sunscreens, and baby products because it is deemed good for the skin, to simply put it, it is naturally produced by the worker bees to store honey. Beeswax also contains antibacterial agents that helps in treating burns and wounds and certain skin issues. To date, it is known to mediate the symptoms of certain skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. To achieve the goal of melting the beeswax in a way that it can still be useful, make sure that it is set on the right amount of temperature. Its melting point is at 62-64.5 °C. Beeswax becomes brittle once temperature drops down below 0°C. Take note that we have to avoid putting the wax on a higher temperature as heating it above the desired heat causes discoloration and boiling will eventually ruin the quality of the wax. Does melting beeswax need the use of any equipment?
