But I'll tell you anyway.
So I bought this beeswax in order to make my own mustache wax blend. Having no control to compare this to, this beeswax is more organic than any other I've used. It melts well. Combines with petroleum jelly well. Hardens as expected. The best part is that I'm smelling a faint honey aroma all day rather than the chemically glue like smell of the mass fabricated wax I used prior.
The picture is somewhat misleading. Sadly, the melted in "BEESWAX" is not melted in. I'm sure with a little patience and wherewithal, a person could melt their own labeling on it, so as to avoid confusing it with a block of cheddar (for those without a sense of taste, smell, and touch).
Anyway, make this your beeswax, poindexter.

After extensive reading about beekeeping, I realized how important 'organic' is if you are going to use their wax for any cosmetic product, around food, or near your own healthy bees. The majority of beekeepers are heavily medicating honeybees for various diseases and these antibiotics and other drugs are then transmitted by the honeybees into their own honey , wax, propolis, etc. Well worth buying 'organic'. This product was well sealed, packed, and shipped quickly.

Perfect for Bear Makers: Melts quickly, stays smooth... very high quality. Perfect for waxing bear noses, re-melts nicely after applying to the cotton floss.

Aside from crafting, I'd love to try making something more day-to-day with this... like lip balm. It just has such a nice light scent.

I'll be back for more of this when I burn through this 1 pound block. It's definitely replacing the blocks I had been buying prior to trying this supplier.

PROs:
1. One pound of organic beeswax for $14.50 delivered? Best price I could find.
2. Actual weight of beeswax is 17.5 ounces--just over a pound.

CONs:
1. While not a problem for me, the beeswax block simply is a cut from a bigger block of wax, so it doesn't look like a tidy bar as in the photo. However, I think this would only be an issue if you were buying this as a gift.

The color of the beeswax is a rich, golden yellow, just as depicted.

I am very pleased with this beeswax.

When I received the package I was excited! I purchased the organic beeswax for my lip balm and lotions that I wanted to make. When I took the beeswax out of the box, it smelled soooo delicious, I mean it smelled just like honey!,(of course). Since then I've used it for making lip balm and it works nicely! It blends well with all the other ingredients that I use with it. I love it and I will most definitely look to purchasing this product when I run out and need more. I found this beeswax was much cheaper than the brand in the craft stores here. Two thumbs up!

I received a block of solid white beeswax that looks nothing like the picture. I don't know if this is suppose to be the case, but the picture is very deceiving. Looks like a big block of paraffin wax, not even sure if it is or not. There is also no inscription in the wax that says "beeswax". I'm not sure where they got the picture of the beeswax they are using to describe their product but it looks absolutely nothing like the one I received and in fact is something different.

I bought this wax for my wife. She loves it! She uses it to make a lot of her cosmetics. My wife liked it so much that she wanted to start buying this organic beeswax in bulk for her circle of friends. I called Home Naturals a few days and they were very helpful. I was surprised how courteous their customer service was. I've had bad experiences with other sellers before, so it was nice talking with someone who actually cares. Be careful of other beeswax being sold on amazon. I've tried most of them and none compare to this bar.

One part this plus 4 parts mineral oil makes a great finish for butcher block counter tops. Melt the mixture in a hot water bath, cool, wipe on a small amount with a sponge.

Love the nature scent of beeswax. I used it to make a body cream, it is so rich and smooth.

The beeswax block that arrived was sealed in a thin plastic. As many others have mentioned, the block is different from the picture. My beeswax is a trapezoidal prism, pale yellow in color with a sweet honey smell. The block is fairly brittle, but I do not have any other beeswax to compare it to. So far I've used the beeswax primarily to condition wood with mineral oil. The wax blends well when heated and the resulting mixture keeps the sweet smell of the original block. I've had great results so far. The mixture will darken cutting boards slightly, leaving a nice smooth finish. I also used the mixture on an old navy sea chest (family heirloom). The chest has been used extensively and the wood was very dry so it absorbed quite a bit of the beeswax mixture. The result was a much darker, healthier looking wood. Before applying any conditioners to wood, don't forget to wipe the dirt off with a clean cloth--wet or dry depending on preference.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in making their own beeswax based products. I'm exploring it for wood conditioning, leather water proofing, and lip balm. The organic factor comes in most importantly with the lip balm. I did not think to weigh the block when I received it, but the size is more than enough to provide for all the uses I mentioned.

Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. A+
