This product is certified: Vegan.

  • Use it to make balms, salves and and other DIY cosmetics
  • You can use it as a vegan alternative to beeswax
  • 100% Natural
  • Vegan friendly
  • The product is flaked for your convenience of measuring and melting

Beeswax Crayons

You can make these with beeswax only, but we find the carnauba wax holds the pigment nicely so we like to add it.

¾ c beeswax

2 T cocoa butter

6 T carnauba wax

1 tsp each of 5 different natural pigments (to make 5 different colours).

Essential oils of choice (optional)

Melt the beeswax, carnauba wax and cocoa butter together then separate evenly into 5 bowls. Stir in any essential oils if using. Mix different colours into each of the bowls. You may need to keep the bowls suspended in a hot water bath to ensure the wax mixture doesn’t begin to set before the pigments have been properly mixed in. Continue mixing until the wax begins to solidify a bit then pour into molds and leave to set completely. Read more on our DIY wax crayons and pigments on our blog.

You will probably want to go for a ratio of carnauba wax to oil of 1:3 and up.

Although it's a natural alternative to beeswax, because it is such a hard wax it does need to be heated to a higher melting point (180-190 degrees) before it will melt.
