YELLOW BEESWAX

 • Source & Color

Harvested from fresh honeycombs and left unbleached. Its color ranges from pale yellow to deep golden, depending on the pollen and plant sources the bees forage from.

 • Scent

Retains a warm, natural aroma of honey and pollen.

 • Characteristics

Rich in natural pigments (such as carotenoids) and plant particles, offering better antioxidant properties.

Ideal for making naturally tinted or colored candles, lip balms, and wood polishes.

 • Price

Generally more affordable than white beeswax due to minimal processing.

WHITE BEESWAX

 • Source & Color

Produced by filtering or naturally bleaching yellow beeswax, often through sunlight exposure and oxidation. Its color is ivory or creamy white.

 • Scent

Lighter honey scent or nearly odorless, making it suitable for products where minimal fragrance is preferred.

 • Characteristics

The near-white color blends well with dyes without affecting the final hue, making it perfect for light-colored or pure white candles.

Commonly used in premium cosmetics and pharmaceutical products for its neutral tone and scent.

 • Price

Usually more expensive than yellow beeswax because bleaching and purification require extra time, resources, and result in lower yields.

 黃蜂蠟

 • 來源與顏色

採集自新鮮蜂巢，未經漂白。顏色由淺黃到深金黃色，取決於蜜蜂採集的花粉種類與產地植物。

 •香氣

保留天然蜂蜜與花粉的香味，香氣較濃郁溫暖。

 • 特點

含有更多天然色素（胡蘿蔔素等）與植物微粒，抗氧化性較好。

適合做有色或天然色系的蠟燭、護唇膏、木蠟油等。

 • 價格

通常比白蜂蠟便宜，因為製程較少加工步驟。

⸻

白蜂蠟

 • 來源與顏色

由黃蜂蠟經過物理過濾或天然日光漂白（曝曬在陽光下氧化）處理而成。顏色為乳白或象牙白。

 • 香氣

蜜香較淡甚至幾乎無味，更適合需要淡香或無味的產品。

 • 特點

因為顏色接近白色，可以輕鬆與其他顏色染料混合而不影響色調，適合做淺色或純白蠟燭。

一些高端化妝品與醫療用品會選擇白蜂蠟作為基底，因為顏色和氣味更中性。

 • 價格

通常比黃蜂蠟貴，因為漂白與純化需要額外時間與工序，且產量相對少。
