Pure Carnauba Wax for Wood, Furniture, Car Polish and Leather Finishing | Use in Homemade Balms and Skin Care | Food Grade, Vegan Hard Wax | 1 LB (16 oz) by Better Shea Butter

This wax arrived in 2 days in good shape. The flakes were pure and I mixed it with an equal part bees wax in hot mineral oil as a final finish for wood. The carnauba melted clear with the bees wax but at a higher temperature, so when all was melted and blended I shook the jars into which I poured the mixture until it became thick to keep the 2 waxes from separating. I had sealed the wood (maple, walnut, cherry, white oak, and white pine) with shellac on various pieces I had made. After cooling, the mixture was amber and buttery. I applied it to my work pieces by rubbing it on with with clean rags. After about 20 minutes I buffed them with micro fiber cloths and the result was better than I could have hoped for. The wax mixture created a beautiful, deep luster. The hardness of the carnauba enabled a shine that bees wax alone does not, and should protect the prices well. I recommend this product and technique to any serious maker of beautiful wooden objects. Mine included keepsake boxes, dodecahedra, and a hanging wall cabinet with drawers. I also applied the mixture directly to some finely sanded kitchen utensils and cutting boards I had made, to which I had liberally applied mineral oil a few days before. All sold at a crafts fair yesterday for far more than the same things I had sold in the past because they looked so beautiful.

Nice flakey carnuba wax and I use it to protect m blades and coat the wooden handles on my knives, price was fine and it does what I need it to do, and it puts a hard protective coating over my knife blades and the wood, good product and food safe

Higher melting point, but adds a great shine and hardness to my beeswax mixture.

I only used this ones or twice but worked well for soap making. You get a lot for the price and it doesn’t have a weird odor.

This is a good wax, I am sure, but it is juts not good for lip balm creation. This wax will produce very Gritty feeling lip balms. I still have to try it on regular body Salves, and maybe it works great for that purpose, but I made two different batches of lip balms, and both times the result was gritty, rough feeling lip balms, that to me feel unpleasant and I had to throw them away. I think Cacao Butter or Mango Butter work so much better and produce a smooth, silky lip balm, so it depends on what you will use this for. Car wax, or maybe a body salve, ok, just do not use it for lips.

I use this in my wood cutting board butter and this wax is very good. Melts easily and creates a nice protective layer on my wood products.

I made vegan lip balm with this product (1 tbsp of this wax, 1 tbsp of coconut oil, 1 tbsp hemp oil melted over double boiler). Melted really nice in the double boiler. I use less product in making my own lip balm than I have with commercial products. I only apply twice a day - with store products, every half hour and this wax is the key. I've tried to just use coconut oil as a lip balm, but it would wear off too quick. This stuff is great!

Great quality! First time ever buying from this company and I’m very impressed. I’m using this to make vegan salve formulations. The result was exactly what I was hoping for. If you are used to working with beeswax, make sure you use less carnauba wax because it’s a much harder wax. I looked up recipes online which really helped with my formulations. Will definitely buy from this company again!
