Bees wax

Bees Wax

  • Natural Secretion: Beeswax is a naturally occurring substance produced by honeybees within the hive. It is secreted by worker bees through specialized glands on the underside of their abdomen.

  • Beehive Structure: Bees craft hexagonal honeycomb cells from wax to store honey and pollen, and to provide a safe space for raising their larvae.

  • Color and Composition: While naturally white, pure beeswax takes on yellow to brown hues due to the presence of pollen oils, honey, and propolis. It is primarily composed of fatty acids and esters.

  • Harvesting Process: Beekeepers extract beeswax by melting honeycombs in hot water, removing impurities through filtration, and letting the wax solidify as it cools.

  • Product Applications: Beeswax is widely used in a variety of products such as candles, cosmetics (like lip balms and lotions), food wraps, furniture polish, and pharmaceutical formulations.

  • Health Benefits: Renowned for its natural moisturizing qualities, beeswax helps lock in hydration, making it ideal for skincare. Additionally, it possesses antibacterial properties and forms a protective barrier on the skin.

  • Sustainability: As a biodegradable and eco-friendly material, beeswax serves as a sustainable alternative in a wide range of products.
