Bee Wax
Natural Secretion: Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees in the hive. Worker bees secrete it from glands located on the underside of their abdomen.
Beehive Structure: Bees use wax to build honeycomb cells in their hive, where they store honey, pollen, and house their larvae.
Color and Composition: Pure beeswax is white but changes to yellow or brown due to pollen oils, honey, and propolis. It mainly consists of fatty acids and esters.
Harvesting Process: Beekeepers collect beeswax by melting the honeycomb in boiling water, filtering out impurities, and allowing the wax to harden as it cools.
Uses in Products: Beeswax is a key ingredient in various products, including candles, cosmetics (lip balms, lotions), food wraps, furniture polish, and pharmaceuticals.
Health Benefits: Known for its natural hydrating properties, beeswax helps retain moisture, making it beneficial in skincare. It is also antibacterial and acts as a natural barrier on the skin.
Sustainability: Beeswax is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it an eco-conscious alternative in many products.
