donna4909 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm considering doing some lotion bars and solid perfumes, and would like your opinions. Which do you prefer, white or yellow beeswax, and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I like white. I guess it's just a psychological thing--I think it looks cleaner. When you put the two side by side, the white makes the yellow look like something old, or something that has turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I've always used white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I also like white, I use it in my soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnhorsemom Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I also like the white. I have noticed when I used the yellow that it also have a "honeyish" smell to it that competes with whatever FO I use. I guess if you want a more natural look the yellow might be better JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I go with the yellow - I like everything I use to be as unrefined as possible, if the application can take it, and I actually like the cast it lends to the product, I love that cream colored look - it says "natural" to me.

Linnyeg Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 the only yellow one i've ever tried had the honey scent. I didnt like the way it mixed with everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Won't help much, but I just asked this last night of some people and they all said white lol! So I ordered a bunch of white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Umm... Whatever is on sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Both. White for when I don't want to have the honey smell. Yellow for the other times. My Yellow is in a block so I also use the white pellets when I want it to melt faster.I also feel yellow is more natural like Daniedb said.

sockmonkey Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Where did you get yours from? I had never used beeswax before and ordered 5 lbs from elementsbathandbody. She had the lowest price I could find anywhere, and was very substantially cheaper than most places. After I got it and worked with it, I decided to order more. When I went back her prices had gone up. I contacted a beeswax distributor and I will have to get 55 lbs to get close to the price I got before. I received a generous sized sample from this other company and have to say that I prefer their wax over Tammy's. The cosmetic grade beeswax was whiter, and did not have as strong of a smell as the other wax.Anybody think they might be interested in a co-op?

donna4909 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Candlewic is pretty cheap on the white pastilles. You can get 5 lbs. for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
