Description
What is Myrica Fruit (Bayberry) Wax?
This light yellow wax with a light balsamic-like scent comes from the small coating of the fruits of the Myrica Cerifera, also known as wax myrtle in English. Bayberry wax originally comes from the Andes mountains in Colombia and can nowadays be found in Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. The berries grow on female shrubs year-round. The wax that covers the grayish berries protects them from losing moisture and shields them against extreme weather conditions.
Great Vegan Alternative to Beeswax
Bayberry wax is a plant-based and vegan alternative to beeswax. The wax is Ecocert certified and completely biodegradable. Most vegan waxes are so different in use that you have to adjust the recipe quite a bit. Myrica fruit wax comes closest to beeswax in terms of structure, making it an excellent alternative.
What Makes Myrica Fruit Wax Special?
Myrica fruit wax is unique in its kind. It has a relatively low melting point for a wax, somewhere between 45 and 55 degrees, but feels almost as hard as beeswax at room temperature. It gives your creations a silky soft texture and a high luxurious slip value. Bayberry wax forms a thin film layer on the skin to protect it against external influences. Just like with the Bayberry itself, this layer helps protect the skin against weather elements.
How to Use Myrica Fruit Wax?
Mix the Myrica fruit wax together with the oils and butters in your recipe and warm to 55 degrees. For example, make a delicious balm for your body, face or lips. The variations are endless!
