Perfumery usage

A small amount of honey always remains in these honeycombs, and the olfactive profile extracted, slightly different, perfectly complements the beeswax extract profile.

Upcycling description

Each year, beekeepers renew 20% of the hives’ frames, recurringly melting them for the duration of a year while reusing the wax and obtaining new frames. However, once this material become too old for reuse, dsm-firmenich purchases it for extraction. After extraction, the remaining beeswax is subsequently sold to create candles for other industries.

Sourcing



France

Beeswax is sourced mainly from small operation local bee keepers in the south of France. dsm-firmenich is among one of the last actors to source honeycombs from local, fully traceable, beekeepers in the region (Var, Drôme, Hautes-Alpes, Alpes Maritimes and Vaucluse).
Honeycombs are collected from beehives directly from a community of beekeepers, before and after the honey harvest season. Extraction is performed at the dsm-firmenich factory in Tourrettes, and then the remaining beeswax is sold to create candles or for the cosmetics industry.
dsm-firmenich’s sourcing agreements with suppliers guarantees a premium quality as the purchased honeycombs are untreated, without containing any naphthalene.
