- Product Highlights
- Beeswax is commonly known as White Wax (Cera Alba) or Yellow Wax (Cera Flava), depending on the product refining degree . Bees secrete the basic raw material during the honeycomb building process . 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 .
