Is it true that this beeswax has not a beeswax odor to it? I am making lip balm and some say that it doesn't have the smell and some say it does.

No, white beeswax has had the color and smell taken out of it. Try using regular beeswax if you want the honey-like scent.

I do feel there is an odor to it. I made lotion bars with coconut oil, wax and lavender essential oil. The wax odor is the main odor you smell when using the bars.

For the sticks I used this one: http://becomingpeculiar.com/homemade-summer-deodorant-that-wont-melt-in-your-cupboard/I did not use it yet, but my husband does and he likes it a lot.The recipe I use is practically the same, but I did not put the beeswax. I therefore don't use it as a stick. I like it also. I think that for the summer I'll add some Sage essential oil as it regulates perspiration.

I have and it's a great base when used with beeswax, however the smell is extremely hard to cover. I've used oils like lavender and rosemary to try to overpower but can still smell the cocoa. I have he same problem when I use it in making bar soap as well. It's great for skin but hard to work with the scent.

It does change a colour after being opened and used. I have one I originally purchased a year ago from a different supplier, have placed it in a jar and used it here and there. The colour is darker, I wish I can attach a photo of it, beige like, still has a pleasant, almost nutty smell, but I don't use it on my lips, so can't comment on a taste. It does have a shelf life especially when no additives are added, so maybe yours got humidity inside and went rancid or got mold?

Hello Christine, Sorry to say but yes, it is supposed to have a smell but the nice thing about it is, the smell does go away after a while. So don't fear, just enjoy the benefits of this awesome witch hazel. Hope this helps............Kimberly

I just used it a few days ago on an unfinished wooden bench outside my condo door. It brings out the natural beauty of the wood, makes it look healthier, and adds some moisture, but it does not discolor or tint it. Beeswax has been used as a natural furniture wax for many years. This wax is great!

No, this 4 pk of lip balm does not have a flavor. This is my favorite lip balm and I have used it for the pass 6 years. It work great!

Not sure... The table's care instructions don't mention beeswax, although I can't imagine it would hurt. The wax definitely adds a minor layer of protection and helps enhance appearance. I would get some and apply to a spot on the underside of the table as a test to see if you like it

I wouldn't necessarily call it scentless, but it definitely does not have a strong odor. Nothing pungent about it in my opinion!

If the container had the ingredients on the bottom, they have long-ago rubbed off from use. This wax is GREAT: has lasted longer than any others I have used, even over multi-day applications. It is primarily bees wax, as most waxes are. I do not know any other ingredients for sure, though: sorry I can't answer this question specifically. Cheers.

No, I have never noticed an odor. I have noticed the color may change from one order to the next but think this is because of the season and what blossoms are available to the bees? Just my thought on this. I keep re-ordering, they really do energize me.

No, I don't taste any flavor to the lip balm. It just not very moist. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to this question as this was not an issue for ME when I made my purchase. This beeswax is just the right consistency for the lotion I made (adding it to olive oil and coconut oil and 5 essential oils).

Agreed. Am thinking it is fake product. The paper sealing strip was not on this jar. Am planning to file complaint against seller.Update: Contacted Waxelene. They had a "wonky" batch from some beeswax that they got a lot of customer feedback about the pale color and "off/smokey" odor. They are amazing people with great product.

I use 1 part beeswax, 1 part coconut oil, 1/2 part shea butter, and 1/2 part cocoa butter, plus a little arrowroot starch and baking soda and essential oils and make a deodorant. it works great. I added the beeswax because the other ingredients were too soft at room temp in my warm house. The beeswax makes the finished product solid at room temp, but it melts easily with body heat. I haven't noticed any staining on my clothes, and it works great. I also use a similar mixture, minus the arrowroot and baking soda as a lip balm.
