Would like to purchase a small amount of beeswax

Dubl07

I like and trust local honey and would like to use some beeswax for homemade lotions and balms for personal use and for gifting at Christmas. I know I could buy pelleted beeswax from Amazon etc but I would much prefer to buy from an Irish supplier. Is there anyone in the Dublin area who would be prepared to sell me some? Just a kilo or so.

I think it needs to be specially filtered/treated and tested for cosmetic use. Unlikely to be many doing it in Ireland.

I can do that myself. Double boiler and a sieve then butter muslin. I don't mind at all if there are still bits in it. It's mostly for me with some for friends, not commericial.

I think it's more concerning residual chemicals/pesticides etc if people are going to be rubbing it on their faces, a strainer won't remove those.
