3. DIY Beeswax Chewing Candy: Follow the viral trend and experiment with adding natural flavors like honey or fruit extracts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Beeswax
What’s the difference between general-grade beeswax, cosmetic-grade, and food-grade beeswax?
Beeswax varies in purity, so it’s important to know the quality before use—especially if selling products to the public.
General (Technical) Beeswax – Contains some natural impurities such as pollen, oils, and propolis. Suitable for candles, woodworking, and industrial applications.
Cosmetic-Grade Beeswax – More refined than general beeswax, with fewer impurities, making it ideal for lip balms, lotions, and skincare products.
Food-Grade Beeswax (E901 Certified) – The purest form, free from contaminants, making it safe for beeswax candy, edible coatings, food wraps, and confectionery glazing.
At Queen Bee Wraps, we only use food-grade beeswax to ensure safety and purity for edible and reusable food wrap applications.
How do you know the grade of the beeswax?
Our beeswax is tested both in our supplier’s lab and by external laboratories to ensure it meets strict quality standards. We provide batch Certificates of Analysis (CoA), so customers can trust that our beeswax is pure, unadulterated, and high quality.
Where does your beeswax come from?
Many suppliers don’t disclose the origin of their beeswax, but we believe in full transparency. Our beeswax is sourced from The East African Beeswax Co. in Kenya and Tanzania, where it is ethically harvested from wild bees. It is then tested and refined in the UK to ensure its purity and compliance with food safety standards.
Is food-grade beeswax safe to eat?
Yes! E901 food-grade beeswax is approved for human consumption and commonly used as a glazing agent for sweets, chocolates, and fruit coatings. It’s also used in beeswax candies and chewable wax as seen in recent viral trends. However, it should always be pure and tested for food safety before use in edible products.
How is beeswax used in food applications?
Food-grade beeswax is naturally antibacterial and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for:
Beeswax Candy & Chewing Wax – Used to make chewable beeswax treats.
Chocolate & Confectionery Coatings – Adds a smooth, natural glaze to sweets.
Fruit & Cheese Preservation – Creates a protective wax layer to keep food fresh.
Reusable Beeswax Wraps – A sustainable alternative to plastic wrap for storing food.
Can I use cosmetic-grade beeswax for food?
No, cosmetic-grade beeswax is not certified for consumption. While it is purer than general beeswax, it does not meet food safety regulations and may still contain trace impurities. Always use E901-certified food-grade beeswax for edible applications.
Can beeswax be used in homemade skincare products?
Yes! Cosmetic-grade beeswax is commonly used in:
Lip Balms & Salves – Provides a natural, protective barrier.
Lotions & Creams – Helps emulsify and add a smooth texture.
Soap Making – Enhances lather and moisturization.
DIY Beard Balms & Hair Styling Waxes – Adds hold and hydration.
