BEESWAX

About this ingredient

Beeswax is a natural wax secreted by honeybees, composed primarily of esters, hydrocarbons, and fatty acids. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as an emollient, humectant, and thickening agent that creates a protective barrier on the skin while enhancing texture and consistency. It is known for its skin-conditioning and occlusive properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin care products, lip balms, and creams.
