Are you looking for a beeswax supplier with years of experience but also a real passion for innovation? Then you have come to just the right place. We are Poth Hille, beeswax suppliers of choice for a wide range of buyers in the UK. We have been in business for over 100 years, and during that time have developed a reputation as one of the leading experts in the field.

What is beeswax?

As the leading bulk beeswax suppliers online, it’s safe to say that we know our stuff! This wax is secreted by the worker bees in the hive and used in the construction of the honeycomb. A bee colony will be made up of tens of thousands of bees, producing 30-50 kilos of honey. However, they will only produce up to 3 to 5 kilos of beeswax. Our beeswax for sale is of the highest quality and is sourced from hives with reliable yields.

What is it used for?

We work with some of the largest producers of beeswax products the UK has to offer, and we see our wax used for a huge range of different applications. It has outstanding thickening and emollient properties, which has made it a firm favourite of those manufacturing cosmetic products such as lipsticks and beauty creams. It’s also commonly used in leather care products, as well as waxes for furniture. It’s used in confectionary too – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. No matter what application you have in mind, it’s likely that beeswax could be the special ingredient that you seek.
