Best Answer

Beeswax is used in a few simple crayon recipes.

Bright Crayons:

Parts by weight - 1 part grated soap; 1 part talc; pigment

Pastel Crayons:

Parts by weight - 1 part grated soap; 1 part beeswax; pigment

Kid Safe:

Parts by weight - 1 part grated soap; 1 part beeswax; food coloring.

On the other hand, it is not used by the "COMMERCIAL" crayon manufacturers as it is too expensive, they can make their own waxes much more economically.
