Beeswax Benefits for Skin
Our family-run business believes in using natural and wholesome ingredients that nourish and protect your skin. That's why we infuse our salves, lotions, deodorants, and lip balms with beeswax.
Beeswax is an incredibly versatile ingredient that has been used for centuries in various skincare products. It's a natural wax produced by honey bees, and it has numerous benefits for the skin. From providing a protective barrier to locking in moisture, beeswax can help you achieve healthy and radiant skin.
Our beeswax salves are perfect for dry, cracked skin, while our beeswax lotions are great for daily use to keep your skin soft and supple. Our deodorants and lip balms, both infused with beeswax, provide long-lasting protection and hydration.
Below, we'll delve deeper into the benefits of beeswax for skin and explain why it's an essential ingredient in our products. Whether you're dealing with dry, irritated skin or simply looking for natural and effective skincare solutions, we're confident that beeswax will become one of your new favorite ingredients.
What is Beeswax?
Beeswax is a waxy material secreted by worker bees in the hive to construct the honeycomb cells where bees store honey, and pollen, and raise their brood. Yellow beeswax is collected by beekeepers from the honeycombs, and it can be further purified and processed for various uses, including in skincare products, candles, food, and industrial applications.
Beeswax is known for its unique properties, including its natural ability to solidify at room temperature, its pleasant aroma, and its versatility as a natural emulsifier and humectant. It contains various beneficial compounds, such as fatty acids, esters, and vitamin A, which make it a valuable ingredient in many cosmetic and skincare formulations.
In skincare products, beeswax is often used for its emollient, protective, and moisturizing properties. It forms a protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture, protect the skin from environmental irritants, and soothe dry, chapped skin. Beeswax is commonly used in salves, lotions, lip balms, and other skincare products due to its natural properties and skin-friendly nature.
Benefits of Beeswax for Skin
Beeswax has plenty of benefits, for the reasons mentioned above. Here are some of our favorite reasons to add this ingredient to your skin care routine:
- Provides natural moisturization: Beeswax contains natural emulsifiers, which help to seal in moisture and protect the skin from dryness, making it an excellent natural moisturizer for chapped lips and dry skin.
- Forms a protective barrier: The beeswax in our products forms a protective layer on the skin’s surface, which helps to shield it from environmental stressors like pollution and harsh weather conditions.
- Helps to heal and soothe: Beeswax has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe irritated skin and promote healing. These properties also make it ideal for use on sensitive skin.
- Acts as a humectant: Beeswax helps to draw moisture to the skin, keeping it hydrated and supple. It also enhances skin elasticity.
- Non-comedogenic: Natural beeswax is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores or cause breakouts, making it ideal for use in skincare products.
Overall, beeswax is an excellent natural ingredient that provides a multitude of benefits for the skin, making it a great addition to salves, lotions, deodorants, and lip balms. Our goat milk products also benefit from the wonderful properties of shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil and plenty of other excellent natural ingredients.
