Description

RG-1369-P Organic Yellow Beeswax is Certified Organic to the Cosmos Organic standards and complies with all requirements of the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) and European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur)

Every entity in our supply chain is certified organic and receives regular audits, from the beekeepers keeping bees and harvesting honeycomb to organic standards through to the refiner, The East Africa Wax Company and British Wax, who have held organic certification since 2009.

From a fully traceable supply chain via our sister company The East Africa Wax Company based in Kenya.    EAWC delivers the very best quality sustainably-sourced beeswax, which supports communities and the environment in which they live, enables them to thrive and means our customers can create truly natural ethical products supported by supply transparency right from the hive to the product you make.

The East Africa Wax Company was founded in 2018 as a joint venture of British Wax and Bee-Care Apiaries International with the aim of leveraging demand for the highest quality premium beeswax to improve the lives and natural environment of the beekeeping community in Tanzania and Kenya.  There are now well over 100,000 hives kept by over 3,000 individual beekeepers registered in The East Africa Wax Company’s supply chain.  Those that are prepared to work with Ecocert’s organic standards are paid an additional premium on top of the premium for their already high quality wax.

As well as paying a premium for the product, The East Africa Wax Company has started a number of initiatives including promoting female beekeeping using Top Bar hives, providing training on hive management to improve bee welfare, introducing a tree planting scheme and providing beekeepers with access to Health & Safety equipment.
