Mumywrap Beeswax Food Wraps

Mumywrap is a reusable food wrap made from cotton fabric coated with natural beeswax, pine resin, and jojoba oil. It’s an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic wrap.

The warmth of your hands softens the wrap, helping it stick naturally to bowls or food. As it cools, it creates a flexible and breathable seal that keeps food fresh longer.

Unlike plastic wrap, Mumywrap is reusable and fully biodegradable. One wrap can replace hundreds of feet of plastic, saving both your wallet and the planet.

Perfect for cheese, bread, sandwiches, fruits, vegetables, and bowls. It’s ideal for covering snacks, leftovers, and dry or lightly moist foods.

Avoid raw meat, fish, or hot and overly wet foods. Moisture and heat can damage the beeswax coating.

Simply rinse under cold water with a bit of mild, alcohol-free soap if needed. Gently wipe it clean by hand — never use hot water or a dishwasher.

Typically 10–12 months depending on use and care. If your wrap loses its stickiness or flexibility, it’s time to refresh or replace it.

Don’t throw it away! Mumywrap is 100% compostable. You can add it to your compost bin, use it as mulch in the garden, or even as a natural fire starter.
