Product Info:
Beeswax is a natural wax derived from honeybee hives, widely used as a thickening, emulsifying, and protective agent in cosmetic formulations. It forms a breathable barrier on the skin, locking in moisture while providing a smooth, creamy texture in balms, creams, and lotions. Rich in vitamin A, it helps nourish, soften, and condition both skin and hair. It is commonly used in lip balms, salves, body butters, emulsions, and natural cosmetics to enhance stability and improve texture.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Melt with the oil phase in formulations.
- Can be blended with carrier oils and butters for rich, protective textures.
- Works well with emulsifiers to stabilize oil-in-water formulations.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat.
