Beeswax
INCI: Cera Alba
What It Is
Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees to build the walls of their hives. In skincare, it acts as a protective barrier, helping to lock in moisture while still allowing the skin to breathe. It also gives structure and richness to balms, salves, and lotions.
Why We Use It
We use beeswax for its ability to thicken and stabilize our oil-based formulations while delivering nourishing benefits. It helps form a breathable shield on the skin, supporting moisture retention and protection from environmental stress. Its emollient properties also contribute to a smooth, balm-like texture.
Origin & How Itβs Made
Beeswax is sourced from ethically managed hives. After honey is harvested, the wax cappings are gently separated, filtered, and purified without chemical bleaching. This minimal processing preserves its natural golden color and beneficial compounds.
