Raw Beeswax Unfiltered Beeswax Sourced from Beekeepers
Quick Details of Raw Beeswax:
Beeswax is formed by honeybees (genius Apis) through the consumption of honey or sugar syrup. In order for a honeybee to be able to secret beeswax, it has to be at least 12-18 days old. The secreted size of each honeybee's beeswax portion is referred to as a scale. The size of these scales are equivalent to that of a pinhead. These pinhead scales are sweated out form the glands on the honeybee. Each honeybee has 8 of these wax secreting glands located under their abdomen. These glands do degenerate over time due to age, miles flown, and usage of the honeybee.

Advantages of our Beeswax:
Cosmetics manufacturing
Taking advantage of its natural good adhesion, permeability, emulsification, smoothness and other characteristics, it is widely used in the production of cosmetic products such as creams, lipsticks, rouge, hair oils, eyebrow pencils, eye shadows, bath lotions, and lotions. It is formulated into a variety of medicinal and skin care ointments, plasters, creams, etc., mostly with beeswax as raw materials.
Makeup pencils are made by mixing oil, grease, wax and pigments, and after grinding, they are pressed into refills, sealed in wooden poles, and sharpened with a pencil sharpener when in use. The refill requires moderate hardness, easy drawing, natural and uniform color, good stability, no "sweating", no cracking, no breakage, soft to the skin, no irritation, and good safety. The wax is mainly beeswax.
Beeswax in Foods:
In small quantities, beeswax can be used to help prevent the aging and water loss of some food items. Certain products like cheese can contain beeswax as a protective coating. Beeswax can also be used as a food additive to allow for exterior protection with some fruits. Most commonly, beeswax is used as an ingredient to make natural chewing gum.
Beeswax in Candles:
Candles that are made from beeswax provide a long, pure, and clean burn that does not produce a lot of smoke. In history and even today, beeswax candles are the traditional church candles of Roman Catholic masses and Orthodox churches.
