Beeswax

Beeswax or Cera Alba is a yellow waxy substance that forms in the body of the bee as a result of a metabolic transformation of pollen to honey. Its various effects make beeswax a very popular cosmetic ingredient – it creates a protective film which prevents the loss of moisture while protecting your skin from negative external factors. Beeswax is also used as a thickening agent and an emulsifier (it facilitates the mixing of oil and water). This makes beeswax absolutely indispensable in the manufacturing of thick nourishing creams, lip balms, lipsticks, or hair-removal waxes.

Properties of Beeswax

Beeswax has the ability to create a waterproof protective layer that stays on your skin for a long time and gradually nourishes, soothes and softens it. Its regenerative effects also make it a popular ingredient in combatting acne or soothing skin allergies.

Effects of Beeswax on Hair

Beeswax in Cosmetics

The fantastic benefits of beeswax cosmetics have been known as far back as 2000 B.C. and modern dermatology increasingly uses bee products to take care of women’s beauty and health. Beeswax does wonders for the skin and is suitable even for the most sensitive skin types at any age. Just be careful if you have an allergy to bee products.

Try popular lip balms with beeswax that protect your lips from chapping even during the coldest days. A lipstick with beeswax will give you a touch of elegance while nourishing your lips just like a balm.
