Myrica faya Bayberry wax is an aromatic green vegetable wax. It is removed from the surface of the fruit of the bayberry (wax-myrtle) shrub by boiling the fruits in water and skimming the wax from the surface of the water. It is amongst the hardest to find vegetable waxes but has a long history in the use of making natural tapered candles. Personal Care Artisans, however, are discovering its use as a vegan substitute for Beeswax (Beeswax cannot be used by those who are vegan).

Saponification value = 220 We recommend that you test your beeswax recipes, as you may need more or less Bayberry Wax to achieve the same texture. Bayberry wax is used primarily in the manufacture of candles and other products where the distinctive fragrance is desirable.

You can bring your own container if you are picking up. Please make sure that you bring bottles for liquids and wide-mouthed jars or bags for solids. Please make sure that the containers you bring are the right size. To use your container for oils, the bottle must be exactly the right size because I will be filling your order by volume.
