Wind & Wildflowers Beeswax Wrap

The warmth of your hands is the key. Simply wrap the cloth around your food or bowl and hold it in place for a few seconds; the heat from your palms softens the beeswax, allowing it to mold and seal as it cools.

No, you should avoid using beeswax wraps for raw meat or fish. Because the wraps are washed in cool water, they cannot be sanitized to the high temperatures required to safely remove bacteria from raw proteins.

Wash your wraps gently in cool water using a mild, eco-friendly soap. Avoid hot water, which will melt the wax coating, and always hang them to air dry completely before folding and storing them in a cool, dry place.

Beyond raw meat and fish, avoid wrapping hot foods or liquids, as the heat will cause the wax to melt and ruin the wrap. Additionally, highly acidic foods like pineapple or lemon can sometimes break down the wax coating over time.

With proper care, these wraps can last up to a year or longer. Over time, you may notice the wax coating thinning, which is a natural part of the product's lifecycle before it eventually becomes compostable.

No, never put beeswax wraps in the microwave, dishwasher, or oven. High heat will melt the wax and ruin the integrity of the wrap.
