Beeswax can be good, though some mixes involving same just aren't cutting it by climactic standards of Arid-Zona. Had 2 batches of the INFAMOUS Keith style SWC's lubed with a primarily beeswax compound, one of them is now as sticky and tacky as a batch of Buffalo ball-ets, the others had the lube all come off to leave a waxed corrugated box and essentially unlubed projos. (I cleaned the projos and recycled them into other bullets via the casting setup)

Carnauba's VERY resistant to high ambient temperatures while still retaining its waxy properties.

Food for thought.
