Pharmaceutical-grade granulation melts cleanly at 144°F without the residue or cloudiness that compromises cheaper waxes. Jacquard filters this white beeswax rather than bleaching it, preserving the material's natural working properties while removing impurities that would interfere with color mixing or surface quality.
Use it straight for softer, more workable encaustic layers, or blend it with damar resin to increase hardness and translucency. The resin mixture also makes finished surfaces dust-repellent and responsive to buffing, you can achieve a subtle satin sheen that enhances depth without adding gloss. Granular form speeds melting and ensures consistent measurement when you're preparing paint batches or adjusting medium ratios.
This is the foundational ingredient for encaustic painting, whether you're making your own paints from scratch or modifying pre-made colors. The pharmaceutical grade designation means reliable purity batch after batch, eliminating variables when you're focused on technique and surface rather than wondering about material inconsistencies.
