Description:
Beeswax, a natural ingredient derived from bees, is a versatile powerhouse in cosmetics. Its emollient properties create a protective barrier, sealing in moisture for dry and chapped skin. Acting as a humectant, it attracts and retains hydration, promoting supple skin. Beeswax conditions and softens the skin, improving its texture and appearance. With healing qualities, it aids in the recovery of wounds and minor burns due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. This ingredient also serves as a thickening agent, adding stability and texture to creams and balms. Gentle and hypoallergenic, Beeswax embodies natural skincare, offering antioxidant protection and a soothing touch for all skin types.
