- Beeswax is commonly known as White Wax (Cera Alba) or Yellow Wax (Cera Flava), depending on the product refining degree.

- Raw Beeswax is obtained by melting and filtering the honeycombs, thus producing a clean wax.
- Beeswax contains free acids, esters and other natural components, which provide special characteristics to the wax product, such as emulsifying properties, plasticity, compatibility with other natural products and a pleasant scene.
- These properties make Beeswax a highly valued product for cosmetic formulations, such as face and body creams. Other uses include candles, textile products and polishes for shoes and furniture.
