I bought these pellets to make homemade lotion and I was not disappointed at all. They come in tiny smooth beadlike pellets that melted easily over the stovetop in a water bath. I read one review earlier about how it leaves a "horrible stench" but for the price and my personal time constraint, I took a risk and bought them anyways. Fortunately, there was no stench at all - not even a trace of a slightly bad smell so maybe that reviewer got a bad batch. In fact, using it with my home made lotion recipe makes them smell heavenly and I always get compliments for my soft hands and the light fragrant smell whenever I use my lotion. I had to melt them down and I didn't do it straight in a pot because I didn't know how much of a cleaning nightmare it would be so I set it in a stainless steel bowl inside a steaming pot of hot water and it worked beautifully. The pellets are a creamy yellowish white color but they melt to a pearly white.
I melted it and mixed it with coconut oil and added a teaspoon of lavender oil for my homemade lotion and refrigerated about 12 mini lotion bars for 1 hour. Once I took them out, they were completely set and were a beautiful creamy-white with a smooth consistency and I felt great about giving them away as favors. I wrapped them up in wax paper with a tie and they held their shape in room temperature. If it gets hotter in the summer months, I'm not sure if the lotion bars will hold up their shape but I think adding cocoa butter will help with that.
Because of how easy it is to melt the pellets and the neutral base it provides, I will probably keep buying these because it's such a great foundation for lotions and candles. I would recommend these for anyone who doesn't want to be chipping away at a block of beeswax and prefers to use smaller quantities that can be easily measured out.

Product Description
Premium Quality - Triple Filtered Beeswax
Stakich Beeswax is filtered and of the highest quality to give you a product that is perfect for any cosmetic or hobby use.
With its natural properties, and high water-holding capacity, it is great for lotions, lip balms and skin care products that help retain natural skin moisture. You can also melt it down to make your own aromatic candles. Pellets make it easy to melt for whatever you need.
Beeswax is the oldest wax in the world. At honey harvest time, the honeycombs are carefully opened to allow for honey to drain from the comb. The bees seal the honey into the combs with wax capping placed over every cell filled with honey. This capping is removed at harvest and is used in the production of our beeswax. Beeswax soothes and softens the skin, protects it from dehydration. And since beeswax candles emit very little smoke, our beeswax is great for making candles, too.

A game changer for me
My previous supplier of beeswax was out of stock for most of this year. I tried SEVERAL different suppliers, however, most of them seemed to be selling blended waxes that would NOT work in mustache wax. I decided to give Stakich a try.Let's just say the Stakich beeswax, both white and yellow, have taken my product from good to great!

My hobby is woodworking and I'm currently making cutting boards and cheese boards from exotic and domestic woods. I had been finishing the boards with food grade mineral oil but decided to add bees wax to the oil to make a spoon butter. I wanted a white bees wax to avoid yellowing in the finish. The Stakish product worked well. It melted into the oil easily and cooled to a soft, white paste consistency. Several coats over several days leaves a very smooth to the touch finish, protects the wood and buffs to a satin sheen. When I give the boards to family or friends I also give a container of the finish along with info on how and how often to apply it to maintain the wood. With a little care these boards should last for decades.
Other reviews have mentioned the odor. In paste form there is some odor but I didn't find it objectionable. After applying the finish, waiting for it to be absorbed into the wood then buffing with a shop towel, I wasn't able to detect any odor.
I would recommend this wax and will reorder it after I use up this batch.
