Review (1/5): Don't do it!
EDIT:
After acquiring more experience, but unfortunately after learning the hard way and wasting lots of money, I'm now purchasing all of my products from a reputable company that sells essential oils and carrier oils, butters, and beeswax. What a complete difference! Now I'm wondering what this even is. I was new to all of this when I ordered and thought, "ok... they say it's beeswax and organic. It's yellow. It must be beeswax". I noticed it smelled smoky, but as a newb thought that was normal. It was small, melted good, and was easy to use. So, I thought great - happy with my beeswax. Wrong! Like I said, after ordering elsewhere and SMELLING and SEEING true beeswax, I wonder what this other stuff is. I have taken a lot of classes since my first review and now know what to look for, the do's and dont's, the qualities and propteries a product should have, etc. And, yes, beeswax should smell like honey! Also, it is NOT bright yellow and you should always readily have access to country of origin, when the product was distilled or the production/extraction date, and the expected shelf life. I don't even know what to do with this other stuff. I certainly don't want it on my body! Maybe a candle, but I'm not sure about even breathing it in and who wants to smell a "smoke" candle! Wish I had known then what I know now. I guess that is what is referred to as "learning the hard way". In this industry, I have definitely learned YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR and if it seems to good of a deal to be true, IT IS! I came back in hopes of saving someone from my misfortune. My advice - educate yourself and buy from reputable sources!
I was a little skeptical after reading some reviews as whether to purchase or not. This is my first go with beeswax. So far I have used it to make homemade organic lip balm & body butter. It worked great! Melted down nicely and was easy to work with. Some say it has a terrible smell. I did not feel that way. Mind you, I have never smelled beeswax before, but I do believe I would know "terrible" if I smelled it. It has a "different" smell and I did smell an undertone of a little smokeyness, but not overwhelming. It did not affect my products, nor were any smells detectable. It came in a zip lock bag as stated, but also then put in another plastic bag. I may would purchase beeswax elsewhere just to do a comparison, but would most likely purchase again. It melted down smooth and wasn't gritty or grainy. Happy with my purchase.
