Set of 3 Beeswax Food Wraps - Butterflies & Gingham Green

Devon Beeswax Food Wraps are a natural and zero-waste alternative to cling film, plastic food bags and aluminium foil. They are a great way to support your household into reducing the amount of single use plastic that is sent to landfill every week.  The wraps can be used in the fridge or freezer and can be re-used after washing gently in cool water with a drop of dish soap, rinsed and air dried on the draining board. With care our beeswax wraps will last for up to 12 months. The only magic ingredient not included is the warmth of y6ur hands to activate the food wraps so that they stick and mould to bowls, plates and to itself.

Ingredients

Our wraps are made from:

• 100% cotton fabric OEKO-TEX (Standard 100) certified. The fabric has been tested to be free from any harmful levels of toxins or chemicals.
• Food Grade BP Beeswax. Beeswax has antibacterial and anti-fungal (anti-mould) properties. It creates a waterproof seal within and upon the fibres of the fabric.
• Food Grade (WW) Pine resin. Used in our special beeswax recipe this ingredient creates the stickiness of our beeswax food wraps.
• Jojoba Oil, 100% organically certified. With antibacterial properties, the addition of oil creates a food wrap that can be malleable so it can be folded and moulded to metal or ceramic items or to itself with the warmth of your hands.

Allergies: Nuts and Honey

• Made in a workshop that sometimes comes in to contact with nuts, wheat and dairy products. The Pine resin and beeswax may not be suitable for persons allergic to nuts and honey/beeswax.

Warnings and Preventing damage to the beeswax wraps

• The beeswax wraps are flammable.  
• Do not use to wrap to cover raw fish, raw sea food or raw meat.
• Do not put in the oven (or on or near the top of the cooker hob), do not put into a microwave, dishwasher or washing machine.
• Ensure your food or food container has completely cooled down before using the wraps. Heat will melt the beeswax coating and damage your wrap. This also includes strong sunshine. There is a remedy to refresh or re-coat your wrap if this should happen including if some of the beeswax has transferred, for example, to a hot saucepan lid or container. Please see FAQ page.

Sizes and Quality

All Sizes are approximate. As a hand crafted item you may find small anomalies indicative that the wraps have not been mass produced using automated machinery.

Our fabric is a high quality cotton with a strong weave and thread count. Each beeswax wrap fabric square, after a pre-wash, press and cut, is hand crafted and individually enrobed with our beeswax recipe to capacity. We produce a high quality and robust wrap that, with care, will last for up to 12 months depending on usage. After 12 months, or if needed, the wrap can easily be refreshed with our refresher pearls ~ coming soon!.
