Because the finished comb is cut directly from the frame and the wax is typically eaten along with the honey, a thin, good-quality foundation is particularly important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade from British Beeswax\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike foundation manufactured from imported wax, this \u003cstrong\u003ePremier Thin foundation is made using British beeswax\u003c\/strong\u003e, sourced and processed by an established UK foundation manufacturer Thorne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer has produced and supplied its Premier-grade foundation since the 1990s and has advised us that it has experienced no issues of concern with the product during that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the beeswax processed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beeswax is processed using \u003cstrong\u003esedimentation to remove dirt and other physical particles\u003c\/strong\u003e before being made into foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportantly, the wax is not subjected to additional processing simply to artificially standardise its natural colour. As a natural product, the appearance and shade of beeswax can therefore vary slightly between batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's experienced wax-production team also inspects the wax before processing.
