Good question. I wouldn't try it. Paraffin is mixed with oil etc. don't think it's healthy. But bees wax has no oil so it make get stuck on your skin.

I wouldn't. Beeswax melts at a higher temperature than paraffin (about 144 F compared to about 99 F), so it will burn you if you put it on your skin while it is liquid.

I would think so just remember low heat over double boiler,beeswax is flammable and will give a bad burn if too hot.

Yes, you just use it like you would any hand or body lotion. It is just not liquid like many hand lotions are. It is called "butter" for a reason. Even tho it is solid, it is soft and smooth as soon as you start to rub it in. I do not use any other product anymore. Our entire family uses this daily.

If you've ever had a paraffin treatment at a salon, it is comparable. When the wax gets low,however, it's noticeably warmer as your hands are closer to the heat source. Never gets too hot, though.

I would assume so. I haven't used esential oils in this way. I make my own "poo-pouri". I do know that it would have to be used sparingly, because full-strength would stain your hands and clothing. I put a few drops on a washcloth and it stained it yellowish-brown. Good luck!

It's boiled down to a paste consistency. I know it says that it is from "NOW FOODS", but I wouldn't want to use it as a food item. Am sure that all the boiling that has been done to it would kill off anything that is living. IF you are going to apply it to your hands, use a drop of another cream, like Eucerin, to help dissolve it and make it easier to work into the hands.

Hmmm. I guess I'm not sure. Maybe if you use a mixer or something. This stuff is super thick. I actually loved the smell but the texture is so thick. I wonder if it would work better if I warmed it up somehow. It's so hard I couldn't get any to use on my hands. At any rate, I definitely recommend thinning this out, I just don't know how one would do that.

I use it as a face scrub/mask. You could use it on your hands if you wanted to, but I'm not sure why you would want to. The mask is gritty with sugar, when you add water the sugar melts and the grit goes away leaving a filmy mask on, which you rinse off. You could rub it into your cuticles, but if you have any broken skin the acid will burn. Glycolic acid can be used on your hands and I guess this could also be used as a rinse off hand mask, but I think you would be better off getting a hand lotion like Earth Therapeutics hand remedy which contains alpha-hydroxy fruit acid complex if you want an acid product for your hands.

No, This is for waxing and buffing. Product is OK, I do not use as expected.

I would not recommend it for anything other than its intended use. There is petroleum jelly in it. Much more than the beeswax. (I stumbled on this product looking for beeswax for use in homemade skin care products.)

yes it can. I use the oil pure on my hands and scalp. I mix it with my favorite organic lotion to rub on my body. The oil can be used in soaps. If you are into soap making you can find recipes online or you can simply purchase premade soaps that use the oil

No, just take a small pinch and roll it in your hands. It softens and turns into a lotion :)

Yes you can, I use this with Nivea body cream because black n white cream has no oil.

I put a little on my hand after shower and moisturize my hair, on weekends I used it as hot oil on dry hair. You can also use it as lotion too

I use this as body lotion. I don't think it's a hand cream. But you could use it just on your hands if you wanted. :)

I used these primarily in a candle warmer. I just put some on my hands (full strength) & it seems to work ok. I would probably dilute them to last longer & to cut down on the oil feeling on the hands.

I personally dont use it for cooking, but YES it absolutely can be. I use it as a lotion daily, In my hair weekly, and sometimes for "oil pulling" This is a great product.

I would assume it could be used as an additive. It becomes pliable and soften with just the warmth of your hands.
