I see everyone using blackened beeswax. Why beeswax and not regular wax? Just wondering.
The rabbits and such are so adorable I just wasn't getting the beeswax part lol.

Beeswax has a creamy texture so no air bubbles.It has natural properties that make it stand the test of time and not lose it's shape, color or break down.Regular wax mottles.It loses the color over time so the "blackened" turns a mucky grey and the texture is not as stable as beeswax.Soy wax is way to soft to even try.Hope this helps you.Warm Blessings!~Amy
ReplyDeleteThank you, that makes perfect sense lol. I just wondered since beeswax seems expensive. So thanks.

I've wondered what's up with beeswax as well. I'm glad Amy provided an answer. Someone said waxes are all interchangeable, but I know soy is just too soft sometimes. Too bad since beeswax is so darned expensive.
