They’re also helpful during breastfeeding — especially if you experience dryness, soreness, cracks, or general nipple sensitivity.

Yes — they’re made for daily, repeated use throughout your breastfeeding journey. Simply rinse with warm water (and a mild soap if needed) and store in a cool, dry place. With proper care, they’ll last for months. Shelf life is 2 years after opening.

Not at all. The beeswax surface feels smooth and soft. It warms to your body temperature and forms a gentle, light seal— no stickiness, no residue, and no mess.

The warning about honey applies only to eating honey, not to external contact. Beeswax may naturally contain tiny traces of honey or pollen, but these are bound within the wax and do not transfer to the skin or breast milk. There is no risk of botulism from using beeswax topically.

Yes — beeswax softens at around 30–35°C and can melt if left in direct sunlight or near heat sources. In very cold weather, the wax can become brittle, so handle gently. Always store in a dry, cool place to keep them in good condition.
