If you buy foundation, it can contain all kinds of residues. You have no idea where it comes from. So it is wise to use your own wax. Preferably from sealing wax and / or virgin wax (completely natural and secrete it by the bees themselves). And having foundation made from it or making it yourself. By using only melted down your own old wax, you automatically get fewer residues in the foundation. |
