Hi Society!
Last night I went to our local farmers’ market and I found a block of beeswax. I was so excited that I bought it (a whooping $3). I had a vague idea of what I could do with it but I was sure it would be great 🙂 It’s such a versatile product! Here’s a non-comprehensive list of things you can do with beeswax:
- skin care products: moisturizer, lip balm, soap, hair pomade
- tool care
- leather care: shoe polishing, furniture restoring
- waterproofing: fabric, shoes, outdoor furniture, matches
- wooden care: furniture polish, restoring kitchenware (spoons, cutting boards)
- sinking construction nails
- ”greasing” furniture (aka stuck drawers)
- candles!!!
- fire starters
- coating cheese
- chewing gum
- strengthening threads: sewing, shoe laces, cordage
- making a bow?
- seal stuff…
Oftentimes it has to bee be combined with other ingredients. This video is gives you a cool overview of some uses! Happy Friday 🙂
