Beeswax is a natural ingredient derived from the honeycomb of bees. It is a versatile ingredient widely used in skincare formulations due to its numerous benefits. Beeswax acts as a natural emollient and humectant, helping to seal in moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors. It forms a protective barrier on the skin, locking in hydration and preventing water loss. Beeswax also contains vitamin A, which promotes cell turnover and supports healthy skin renewal. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for soothing and calming irritated skin. Furthermore, beeswax provides a smooth texture and helps stabilise formulations, enhancing the overall stability and shelf life of skincare products.

Product recommended usage rate: The recommended usage rate of beeswax in skincare formulations can vary depending on the desired texture and consistency of the product.

Typically, it ranges from 1% to 25%, with lower percentages used in lighter-textured products like lotions and higher percentages used in thicker formulations like balms and salves. It is best to experiment with small amounts and adjust the quantity as needed to achieve the desired results.
