Wat is Myrica Fruit (Bayberry) Was?

This light yellow wax with a slightly balsamic-like smell comes from the skins of the fruits of the Myrica Cerifera. Originally, the Bayberry wax comes from the Andes mountains in Colombia and can be found today in Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. The berries grow on the female bushes all year round. The wax that covers the grayish berries protects the berries from losing moisture and protects the berries from 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 fully biodegradable. Most vegan waxes are so different in use that you have to adjust the recipe considerably. Myrica fruit wax is closest in structure to the Beeswax, making it an excellent alternative.

What Makes Myrica Fruit Wax Special?

Myrica Fruit Wax is one of a 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 texture and a high luxurious spread. Bayberry wax forms a thin film layer on the skin so that it is protected against external influences. Just like the Bayberry itself, our skin is also protected against all weather conditions.

How do you use Myrica Fruit Was?

Mix the Myrica Fruit Wax together with the oils and butters in your recipe and heat it to 55 degrees. For example, make a nice balm with it, for your body, face or lips. The variations are endless!
