Bees Wax

Beeswax is a natural substance secreted by honeybees (worker bees) from special glands on their abdomens. It is used by bees to build the hexagonal honeycomb cells where honey is stored and larvae are raised. Humans harvest beeswax by collecting and purifying honeycomb, often during honey extraction. Beeswax has been valued since ancient times for its versatile properties, including non-toxicity, biodegradability, and water resistance.

Types of Beeswax:

Yellow Beeswax: it is is the raw, unbleached form of beeswax, retaining its natural yellow to golden-brown color due to pollen, propolis, and other natural compounds. It has a mild, honey-like fragrance.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Lip balms, creams, and salves for its emollient properties.

Candlemaking: Provides a natural, slow-burning flame with a pleasant scent.

Food Industry: As a coating for cheeses or a glazing agent.

White Beeswax: white beeswax is yellow beeswax that has been physically filtered or chemically bleached to remove impurities and color. It is odorless or has a very faint scent.

Applications:

Pharmaceuticals: An ingredient in ointments, pill coatings, and medical creams.

Cosmetics: Preferred in lotions, makeup, and hair care products where a neutral color is desired.

Food & Candles: Similar to yellow beeswax but chosen for aesthetic reasons (e.g., white candles).
