Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have always been a natural living person and make most of the things I use - cleaning supplies, candles, skin creams, and have been doing this for years. In a lot of the things, beeswax is an ingredient, and I have become quite the beeswax 'connoisseur.' High quality beeswax makes a huge difference and can be, surprisingly, tough to find. I have found however that the quality varies GREATLY from seller to seller on this listing. I had been ordering my beeswax from Fast Shipping Supplements and their quality is fantastic. Another reviewer had mentioned that their beeswax smells just like honey, and they are exactly right. The beeswax from Fast Shipping Supplements is very clean, has a beautiful color and creates a wonderful smell that fills the whole room when made into candles. It comes in a convenient size and shape - it's easy to melt a whole bar quickly, and/or it's very easy to grate, and the smell is wonderful. I make a lot of beeswax candles and you don't need to scent them with this beeswax - it gives off a wonderful, subtle honey scent. I purchased from both Larkin and Natural Cosmetics, because they were cheaper, (mistake on my part) and was extremely disappointed with the quality of beeswax from both vendors. I think they may get them from the same source because they both smelled like smoke and both of them had specks of dirt in them. So be very careful which vendor you purchase from. In the future I will only be purchasing from Fast Shipping Supplements In addition to the candles I make, this beeswax makes the absolute best furniture polish you will ever find - it's really healthy for your wood, smells wonderful, and shines up your wood finish beautifully. And it's easy to make: 1 cup oil (olive, jojoba, walnut, tung, whatever oil you like the best) - use a 2 c. measuring cup ¼ c. beeswax (for best results, use the beeswax in this listing) With a cheese grater, shave your beeswax or break it into bits with a hammer (tiny pieces will make the melting process go much quicker but with this particular beeswax, the small bars melt quickly). Add beeswax to the measuring cup until it reads 1 and 1/4 cups. Heat in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove top. It will need to be heated very hot, beeswax has a melting temperature of about 150 degrees F. Stir and make sure all the beeswax is fully melted and dissolved. When the beeswax melts your mixture will look just like the liquid oil. Be careful, it is hot. Pour it into a container wide enough for stirring. As the mixture cools, stir it every once in a while to keep it from separating. As it cools, it will thicken around the edges of your container first, so scrape the sides. Stirring just a few times over a couple hours is enough - stirring will make an even, creamy blend. If you don't stir, the center will be oily while the edges will be harder and waxy and it is difficult to blend together when it is completely cooled. Your furniture will love you! And your home will smell nice too!
