Beeswax Rewax Bar

The beeswax rewax bar prolongs the life and performance of your reusable wrap. It contains our signature blend of beeswax, resin and oil that makes our wraps so sticky, soft and water repellent. It’s ideal for making your own wraps at home or re-waxing your wraps after a period of use. One bar will fully wax up to five wraps depending on their size, or will re-wax up to 10 wraps.

Contains: Pure Irish beeswax, organic jojoba oil and pine resin.

Weight: 30g each

How to use the beeswax rewax bar

To rewax, place your wrap on greaseproof paper and sprinkle over some slivers of grated wax. (Freezing the rewax bar beforehand hardens the wax and makes it easier to grate). Put it in the oven for a few minutes at 70-80 degrees Celsius. This will melt the wax and allows it to be absorbed into the cotton, resulting in your wrap looking fresh and feeling sticky once again.

How to make beeswax wraps

To make your own beeswax wraps, do the same as when rewaxing, but add more wax. You may need a small paintbrush to evenly distribute the molten wax.

Caution: Be careful when handling hot wax.

Our Beeswax

Pure Irish beeswax is a premium product made by our honeybees to store their honey in the hive. We produce our own beeswax which is 100% natural. Also, it is made from a renewable source which makes it sustainable and eco-friendly. The wax has been filtered to remove impurities but has not been treated in any way and is chemical free.

Bees secret beeswax from their wax glands. Honeybees have four pairs of wax glands on the underside of their abdomen. Once secreted, the brittle flakes or scales of wax will be moved to the jaws or mandibles of the bee. They will chew and mold it to make it soft and pliable. The bees will then passed on the wax to other worker bees who will use it for building comb. In order to make just one single gram of wax, the bees will need to produce approximately 1100 flakes of wax. The wax-flakes are initially clear and odourless. It is only later that the wax will adopt its characteristic colour and smell. This happens when pollen and propolis gets worked into the wax. So, would you like to know more about the beeswax we use and how our bees make it? Read about it here.
