Rainbow Kiwis - XL Beeswax Wrap

LilyBee Wraps and Bags are a natural, reusable and beautiful alternative to disposable plastic wrap and bags for food storage.

Made from cotton infused with our beeswax solution, Lilybee makes for an easy and fun step towards reducing single-use plastics in your home.

Lilybee also helps prevent food waste - because our wraps are breathable your food stays fresher for longer, protecting the planet and your wallet!

Bread keeps its crust while staying fresh and moist inside. Cheese stays fresh without dried out edges, and without sweating. Fruit and vegetables stay fresher for longer without shrivelling or going soggy.

Just four: Cotton fabric, beeswax, coconut oil and tree resin.

Pure cotton fabrics are chosen for their quality and beautiful designs. Pure New Zealand beeswax is sourced from ethical beekeeping friends who we built relationships with during our 15 years as beekeepers.

Coconut oil is sourced from our neighbouring Pacific Island communities and refined here in New Zealand, and natural tree resin is also Pacific sourced.

At LilyBee, we’re dedicated to reducing waste and making sustainable choices. That's why we offer you the option to choose how your beeswax wraps are packaged.

If you're buying wraps for yourself, you might prefer to go packaging-free, or choose one item packaged (you're probably only going to read one, right?). This option lets you enjoy your wraps without any additional materials, making it an ideal choice for those committed to minimizing their environmental impact.

However, if you’re purchasing wraps as a gift, our eco-friendly packaging might be just what you need. Each wrap is enclosed in a clear bag that looks like plastic but is actually made from vegetable cellulose—a fully biodegradable and home-compostable material. This packaging not only keeps your wraps clean and hygienic but also allows the beautiful design to shine through.

Our packaging lasts about a year on the shop shelf, but once it’s in the soil, it breaks down in just a few weeks. And if you don’t have a compost bin, no worries—just bury it in your garden and let nature take care of the rest.

Whether you choose to go packaging-free or opt for our eco-friendly packaging, you’re making a positive choice for the planet. If you don't specify your preference, we will package each item just in case.

LilyBee Wrap is a natural, reusable and beautiful alternative to plastic wrap for food storage. 

Cover bowls, wrap sandwiches and and much more, using the warmth of your hands to press the wrap or bag to seal, keeping food fresh in the fridge or out, and on the go.

Lilybee make great gifts - thoughtful, stylish, eco-friendly, and economical to post.

1. Avoid heat including hot water, the dishwasher and microwave! Let hot foods cool before wrapping them
2. Wash with cool water and mild dish detergent after every use, and rinse well with cool water.
3. Air dry on a dish rack or hang in the shade, then roll up to store in a jar or fold to lay flat in a drawer

With this simple care your wrap should easily last a year or more.

Actually it's much easer to define what NOT to use them for: raw meat. Meat juices need to be cleaned with hot water, and since the wraps can only be cleaned with cool water, we do not recommend this.

Wraps are wonderful for keeping half onions fresh, but the onion can leave a distinct odour, so we recommend keeping a specific wrap for this.

Yes! Beeswax Wraps provide moisture retaining protection that stops food drying out, but are also breathable, which prevents foods becoming soggy. Your food will retain both flavour and texture for much longer.

The wrap acts much like the skin of a fruit, which explains why fruits and vegetables stay so much fresher for longer in a wrap than in plastic or other packaging.

Bread keeps its crust while staying fresh and moist inside. Cheese stays fresh without dried out edges, and without sweating. Fruit and vegetables stay fresher for longer without shriveling or going soggy.

While the wraps themselves do just fine in the freezer, they should only be used for very short-term freezer storage.

This is because the wraps are breathable, which means over time food stored in them could become freezer-burnt.

Better to keep your wraps for fridge storage.

With regular use and normal care your Lilybee wraps and bags will easily last a year, but that's just the start!

We have many customers who have been using their Llybees for 3 years or more.
