I bought this to start making my own lotions. I'm still fairly new and I'm learning a lot as I do my research. This stuff is very easy to use. I do recommend being careful heating it up if your using a microwave. If you heat it too much and even by adding hot distilled water ( which is a must to use because faucet water can cause bacteria to grow) It doesn't set right, even after it cools. I recommend melting it on the stove. That way you can watch it melt and it won't get too hot.
After mixing the melted wax and water let it sit till it gets warm to touch or room temp before adding in your oils. Again if won't set good if you add in the oils when it's too hot. This has just been my experience. Also a little goes a long way. I made some errors in training lol
You can basically add in any oils you like. I like to use pure cocoa butter oil, this is something you can melt down with the wax at the same time since it comes hard and chunky. Also I used coconut oil, avocado oil, vitamin E and D and grape seed oil. They all mix well with the wax.
I may try bees wax next time to see which works better. Though I read the wax is better but will still try both..plus I want to make chap sticks and bees wax is the way to go for those.. I hope my review helps you. I know when I was reading other people's reviews it helped answer some of my questions I had in mind.
Update. I deducted one star because I have found this product a lot cheaper in other stores. Not only is it cheaper but you get a lot more and it's the same thing. . My local Ocean state carries it so I'll be buying it from them from now on.

Customer Review: Don't add preservatives in wax mixtures
Shop queen
I have not used this product so I have not given it a TRUE rating but my concern is that I may not use this product for my cosmetics. There is an ALLERGEN ALERT on the package which reads “ packaged in a facility that also processes eggs, dairy, peanuts, soy, tree nuts and wheat.” I do not think this would be good to even test out. This is heartbreaking. Other than that good packaging and long expiration date. The pastilles were nice and fresh.

Don't add preservatives in wax mixtures
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 2, 2019
I love it works perfect for my body lotions. The trick with using this is make sure you don't put your preservatives in the the melted wax or oil phase, the oils will separate with the water, make sure you add preservatives in your water phase, also if it's separating maybe it's because you didn't use the right amount of wax just melt more and add to your mixture it will not separate. Pls hit helpful if review was helpful. The wax easily melts just make sure you don't over heat it, came very fast ordered and it and it came the next day
