Q: Will this feel waxy on skin?
A: It can add firmness and structure, so the final feel depends on your wax percentage and the oils you pair it with.

Q: Can I blend it with beeswax or other plant waxes?
A: Yes, it is commonly blended with other waxes to fine-tune hardness, glide, and melting feel.

Q: Why is this wax lighter in colour?
A: It is double-refined, which helps create a lighter, cleaner-looking wax for cosmetic formulas.
