Beeswax Alchemy: How to make your own soap, candles, balms, creams, and salves from the hive

Review ------ "Beeswax is a wonderful, malleable and beneficial product that has a wide array of possible uses. This attractive book has a lot to offer for the intermediate do-it-yourselfer. In her debut book, businesswoman Ahnert provides an excellent introduction and solid technique instruction to make candles, lotions, and soaps with beeswax. VERDICT The true strength of this book is its instructions for making homemade body products. While similar in coverage to Leeann Coleman and Jayne Barnes's Honey Crafting, Ahnert's book provides better body products and more detailed technical instruction. Strongly recommended." - Library Journal "This book basically lets you become your own Burts Bees, but better, with clear instructions on how to make candles, soaps, salves and creams out of beeswax and much, much more! Beeswax candles help clean the air, beeswax salves have anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-viral benefits. For people who have y problems, beeswax is a "go to" product. Once I started looking into the benefits of beeswax products, it made me realize all the man-made s in those same products bought at a store." - Jeannie Boutelle (The Local Beet blog) "...a fabulous book with instructions and excellent photos on virtually any product one might wish to make from beeswax.
