We stock both white (Natural filtered) beeswax and yellow (natural) beeswax. Our beeswax is processed (filtered) naturally with no chemicals used. Encaustic artists and candlemakers love our natural beeswax, many consider it encaustic wax. MP-146, Pure Off-White Beeswax pastilles Beeswax is secreted by the bees (Apis Mellifica) and used to construct the hive. The bleaching method to obtain Our White Beeswax is not chemical, but it is a PHYSICAL METHOD. The Yellow Beeswax is warmed up to 100 °C and melted. Decoloration earth and coal (carbon) are added then it is filtered through a < 5 micron filter for a few times to obtain the total elimination of the coal particles. Beeswax is used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, candle, encaustic wax art, Batik and other applications. We have added Microcrystaline wax and carnauba wax flakes and damar resin crystals to our supplies and hope to be adding pigments shortly. We have now added tins of various sizes which work great for mixing and storing your mediums. Our Damar Resin is here and looks very clean. We now make our own encaustic medium and can custom make batches for you.

#1 Carnauba Wax Flakes Brazilian Carnauba #1 wax flakes. Carnauba wax can produce a glossy finish and as such is used in automobile waxes, shoe polishes, food products such as sweets, instrument polishes, and floor and furniture waxes and polishes, especially when mixed with beeswax and with turpentine. It is used as a coating on dental floss. Use for paper coatings is the most common application in the United States. It is the main ingredient in surfboard wax, combined with coconut oil.
Because of its hypoallergenic and emollient properties as well as its shine, carnauba wax appears as an ingredient in many cosmetics formulas where it is used to thicken lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, deodorant, various skin care preparations, sun care preparations, etc
It is the finish of choice for most briar tobacco or smoking pipes. It produces a high gloss finish when buffed on to wood. This finish dulls with time rather than flaking off (as is the case with most other finishes used.)
In foods, it is used as a formulation aid, lubricant, release agent, anticaking agent, and surface finishing agent in baked foods and mixes, chewing gum, confections, frostings, fresh fruits and juices, gravies, sauces, processed fruits and juices, soft sweets, Tic Tacs and Altoids.
Though too brittle to be used by itself, carnauba wax is often combined with other waxes (principally beeswax) to treat and waterproof many leather products where it provides a high-gloss finish and increases leather's hardness and durability.
It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a tablet coating agent.
When used as a mold release, carnauba, unlike silicone or PTFE, is suitable for use with liquid epoxy, epoxy molding compounds and some other plastic types. Carnauba wax is compatible with epoxies and generally enhances its properties along with those of most other engineering plastics. Semiconductor manufacturers also use chunks of carnauba wax to break in new epoxy molds.
Carnauba is also great for use in encaustic painting bases.
