DIY Beeswax Food Wrap Recharge Kit

$10.00

Bring your tired beeswax wraps back to life!

Whether you made your wraps with your Dee’s Bees Blend, bought your wraps from another maker, or made them yourself with another recipe, you CAN use our blend to recharge your wraps!

Over time and with ongoing use the wax in your wraps will deplete.  Often the fabric will still have a lot of life left in it, but the wrap simply dries out and no longer sticks the way it did.  

You just need to top-up your wraps with our pre-blended block of beeswax, tree resin and coconut* oil. 

Our recharge wax blend block comes with full instructions to re-wax your wraps, using either your oven or iron.  And because it's exactly the same wax blend as we use to make wraps from scratch, you can even use this block as a 'starter' kit if you just want to make a few new wraps. 

This 50 gram (1.8 oz) recharge block of blend will:

  • make four new wraps of 20 x 25 cm (8x9 in), OR
  • recharge many more tired wraps.

 Be aware that you may need very little wax to recharge – it’s usually just that top layer you need to replace, so this block goes a long way!

 

This kit contains:

  • One x 50 gram block of beeswax wrap blend.
  • One instruction sheet.

 

A few more things you might want to know:

What’s in the blend?

Pure New Zealand beeswax, damar tree resin and Pacific coconut* oil.

 * From 6 August 2023 we've switched from jojoba oil to coconut oil.   We love that the coconut oil is grown in our neighbouring Pacific islands and we can help their economies, and the oil is refined right here in New Zealand.  Jojoba is grown in the northern hemisphere, so switching to coconut saves a whole lot of mileage and is the greener, more sustainable option. 

 

Why on earth is it in a plastic bag?

Aha!  Gotcha!  It's actually a genuine cellophane bag made from vegetable cellulose - fully biodegradable and home compostable.   We're always happy to cut down on packaging though, so just let us know in the notes section at checkout if you're happy to go packaging free :)

I know what’s in the kit, but what else do I need?

  • Your tired wraps
  • Baking paper or parchment paper
  • An oven or iron (your choice of method)

I bought my wraps from another maker - will your blend work on them?

Yes.  Other makers may use a slightly different recipe and different ratios, but they are all compatible with our blend.  We're willing to bet you might even like your recharged wraps better than your original.

International Orders and Bee Products

We send our beeswax candles, wraps, DIY blend, and polishes  worldwide and have never had a problem with border restrictions.   Generally finished beeswax products are acceptable for import in most countries.

However, in some countries raw beeswax may not to be allowed in order to protect the health of their local bees.  We get it.  After all, Kev and  Dee are beekeepers, first and foremost.  On that basis, we opt to make our beeswax blocks and pellets available to New Zealand addresses only. 

 

Some countries may have various border or import charges - please note that you will be responsible for any such charges. 

  

What about packaging?  Do you use plastic?

We're committed to eliminating plastic wherever we can - the clear bags our kits are packaged in are NOT plastic.  They are genuine cellophane, made from vegetable cellulose and are fully biodegradable and home compostable. 

And we're very happy to announce that the black courier bags we use are also NOT plastic!  They are made from plants and are fully biodegradable, and home compostable.  And, a little oddly, they smell like fresh toast, or maybe popcorn!

Beeswax Food wrap blocks

A good product. But it did take some time to get down to Dunedin.
Perhaps there needs to be clarification about this when ordering.
