Teach Soap

I just uncovered some beeswax I got from Snow Drift Farms when they were still operational. I have no idea how old it is, although I'm pretty sure its life in my possession should be measured in years.

Is it still good? Does beeswax actually have a shelf life?

Thanks.

Anita

Ohh that's a good question!

From what I've read, beeswax has an indefinite shelf life. Nice!

After I posted this, I came across something online that said beeswax has a shelf life of about 20 years.

So I'm thinking I'm okay to use it.

Speaking as a beekeeper, I've never heard of beeswax "going bad." Or even that it needs special storage (other than under its melting or flash point). I'd say unless you've come across beeswax in Tut's tomb, it's fine to use.

Beeswax candles have been found in the tombs of the Pharoah's, and the candles are still perfectly good.
There is no "expiration date" for beeswax
