Description

Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees. It is secreted by the worker bees in the form of small flakes, which they use to build honeycomb structures in their hives. Beeswax has been used for centuries in a variety of applications, from cosmetics to candle making, due to its natural, hypoallergenic properties and its ability to form a protective barrier on the skin.

In cosmetic formulations, beeswax is valued for its ability to lock in moisture, soothe the skin, and act as a natural emulsifier. It is often included in lip balms, creams, lotions, and salves due to these benefits.

Moisture Sealing and Hydration

Beeswax creates a barrier on the skin that helps lock in moisture, preventing water loss and keeping the skin hydrated. This is especially beneficial for dry or chapped skin.

It forms a protective layer without clogging pores, making it suitable for a variety of skin types.
