can this beeswax be used for lotion?

Yes, it's perfect for lotion! Just use a double boiler to melt it. Since the beeswax comes in very small pellets it melts super quick! Way better than a beeswax bar!

Yes, but if you can use coconut oil or almond oil, it gives it more lubricating ability as well as a nice smell.

Not personally. It's a product that should be safe for that application, however, as it is food grade. It has enough wax in it that it can be buffed out to a sheen, as well.

Atsko makes a beeswax skin protector called Pro-Tech-Skin. It's a cream so I think to would be a lot easier to apply than than the boot stuff, but I haven't used it so I don't know. There is no reason you can't use beeswax on your skin, lots of skin care products contain it, but make sure this stuff doesn't contain anything else that might harm you. I'm a doctor and I wash/alcohol gel my hands all day long and the thing that does the best for my disaster hands and feet (I call them my hooves they're so bad) is anhydrous lanolin which is a natural form of wax as well but with a very different chemical makeup than beeswax. Anhydrous means no water in it so it's pretty stiff but it works much better than the lanolin creams that contain water. Warm it up a little and it's much easier to apply. I've used two from Amazon, Lansinoh, which is recommended for women who are breast feeding, and the Australian Golden Lanolin. Lansinoh is pretty expensive but it is odorless. The Australian Golden Lanolin has a very faint scent , but I don't find it offensive at all and I use on hands and feet. I've used other brands of anhydrous lanolin that had varying intensities of sheep smell left. S if you decide to try lanolin, check out the reviews before you buy something you won't use because it smells weird.

Yes! I have used it to make lotion, lotion bars, and lip balm. Love it! It does have a rich chocolate scent that is impossible to cover, so don't try. Use Shea butter instead. But the chocolate scent works really well combined with peppermint or orange. Basic recipe is equal parts butter (Shea or Cocoa) and an oil (coconut, olive) with beeswax (amount determines how firm the product will be). Best way to test a recipe is to start with small amounts, place ingredients in a small jelly jar, and heat in a pan of water until everything melts. Remove from heat, let sit for a few minutes and then stir in essentials oils if using. The jar becomes your storage container, so you don't have any cleanup. Yes!

I only use as a body lotion after bath. Not sure you can use it on the face.

Yes, I don't see why not. Are you concerned about the viscosity of the lotion? I've have no problems with highly viscous conditioners.

This is a GREAT bronzer!!! Yes you can use it as a tanning lotion. It is designed for indoor tanning. I absolutely love this lotion!!!! Hopefully I was able to help

I personally would not use it as a face lotion. It's definitely more of a hand and body lotion. Yes, it would be too girly smelling for a guy as it is quite flowery.

i don't see why not. just keep in mind that you are going to get a lot of lotion for each use.

I really don't see why it shouldn't, it works beautifully with every cream or lotion. The sponge doesn't actually absorb, it more or less just holds anything you put on it. It's a fantastic applicator & I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Yes, I use it for moisturizing my skin. Just like UBizz said the scent is very light and you need no more than a palm size.

I use it to make sugar scrubs for my skin. So yes, you can :) It's a little heavier oil so you may not want to slather yourself with it though.

I used it for lip balm, but I believe it is often used in Luton as well. My mom is a massage therapist and told me you have to be careful with cocoa butter because it can stain clothing, so you might want to research that more before using it in a lotion.

Absolutely! This is the lotion I use for face and body, and I have given it to my daughters to use as well. We now use it on a daily basis.

Hello, you can use this wonderful butter as is but it is very thick. I use it to create body butter and hair lotion. It was work wonders on my son's eczema. I mix it with coconut oil and other essential oils. I LOVE THIS BUTTER.

It's not a self tanner, so it wouldn't work using that as just lotion. You use it prior to going in the tanning bed and you can use it as a tanner if you're laying out in the sun.

I think either will work well. Sponge is quite firm. It does not absorb the lotion.
