I have also been experimenting with making my own creams and lotions out of the extra beeswax I have, so I agree you should cut down on the amount of beeswax and you should be fine.
Do you have a good recipe to share? I have been all over the internet and trying so many things and have spent a few hundred dollars already on ingredients to make some lotion bars and hand cream. After experimenting and making stuff I really was not happy with,(well the texture's have been very good, but the smells were not up to standards - my poor husband has offered to use all the stuff I do not like, on his feet) I have finally come up with some decent recipes, but I still want to tweek them a bit.
It has been fun, but expensive purchasing all those essential oil and other things. Although this is mainly what I am going to give for Christmas. When I am done, I will share some photos and recipes if anyone wants. I will have worked out the bugs for you all.
And yes, I know about Tillies's creams and have been in touch with her also for advice.
