White Beeswax

Bleached white beeswax (Cera Alba) produced from refined yellow beeswax by oxidative or activated-carbon bleaching to remove residual color and pigments. The pharmaceutical and premium-cosmetic standard form of beeswax.

White to pale cream pellet, slab, or block wax. Faint to no aroma. Melting range approximately 62 to 65 °C, identical to yellow beeswax in physical properties apart from color.

We supply White Beeswax from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production. Pharmacopoeial-grade material conforming to USP, EP, JP, and BP specifications is available.

Common market grades include USP/NF Pharmaceutical Grade, EP Pharmaceutical Grade, Cosmetic-Grade Bleached, and Food-Grade Bleached for confectionery and food coating use.

Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering acid value, ester value, saponification value, melting point, and microbiology.

White beeswax is the bleached counterpart of yellow refined beeswax (Cera Flava). The bleaching process removes naturally occurring pollen-derived pigments while leaving the underlying wax chemistry unchanged.

Production starts with refined yellow beeswax that has been filtered and standardized. The wax is then bleached either by activated carbon or hydrogen peroxide treatment under controlled conditions, yielding a white to pale cream product that meets pharmacopoeial color specifications. Subsequent steps include filtration, deodorization, and pelletizing or slab forming.

Regulated as E901 in the EU, recognized as Generally Recognized as Safe by the U.S. FDA, and listed in USP, NF, EP, JP, and BP pharmacopoeias under the name Cera Alba.

The white grade exists because finished products in pharmaceutical cream, cosmetic stick, and food-glazing applications often require neutral color. While yellow beeswax serves wherever amber tone is acceptable or desired, the white grade is essential whenever color contribution from the wax would compromise the finished product appearance.

• Cosmetic creams, lip balms, and solid stick formulations where color neutrality is required
• Pharmaceutical ointments, topical bases, and tablet coating
• Food-grade fruit coatings and confectionery glazing where light-color appearance is preferred
• Premium candle manufacture
• Personal-care formulations including hair styling waxes and shaving creams
• Dental compositions and oral pharmaceutical preparations
• Natural and clean-label cosmetic products positioned for fair-skin or transparent finishes
• Premium furniture and leather conditioning preparations
