Born in the U.S., "honeybee wrap" is a food preservation cloth made of muslin, a cotton cloth, soaked in beeswax, jojoba oil, and damar resin. The beeswax and jojoba oil have an anti-rot effect, so food can be preserved for a long time.


At room temperature, the cloth is stiff and taut, but it softens at hand temperature and transforms to fit the food it is used to wrap, such as bread, cheese, vegetables, or rice balls. After a few seconds of wrapping, the wrap cools and hardens, adhering to the food. It can also be used as a cover for bowls and plates.

After use, it can be washed with water or neutral detergent and dried naturally for repeated use, and when it is no longer useful after a year or so, it can be cut into small pieces and spread in the soil to decompose.

All materials used are natural, including GOTS-certified muslin, beeswax, and jojoba oil. The size is 17.8 x 20.3 cm, weighs 40 g, and will be imported and distributed in Japan by KTM from mid-May. The price is 1,680 yen (tax included).
