Historically, natural beeswax has always been a valuable ingredient for its versatile applications, which include culinary uses, such as food flavoring and food storage.
When used on some type of fruit, natural beeswax prevents the loss of water while protecting them from gathering dust and from being scratched, bruised, or bitten by insects.
In today's topic, we focus on the medicinal benefits of beeswax and how it is a natural ingredient in cosmetic products.
Medicinal Benefits of Natural Beeswax
Beeswax is used in the making of ointments and medicinal balms meant for treating scrapes, minor cuts, minor wounds, burns, and other abrasions. The anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties help to prevent bacteria from entering the skin through the broken or bruised areas by providing the skin with a layer of protection.
Topically, Beeswax can also be used by people with severe allergies and other irritational discomforts like rosacea, skin redness, and eczema.
Natural Beeswax - An Excellent Cosmetic Ingredient
Beeswax is used in beauty products such as moisturizers, lip balms, and makeup. When used on the skin, Beeswax creates a hydrating, long-lasting barrier to protect it against environmental pollutants as well as conditions, soothes and calms the skin.
Beeswax is also known to soothe itchiness and irritation, to nourish and soften dry, cracked areas, hence, making it ideal for use in lip balms. Used in hair products like pomade, natural beeswax contributes to the beautiful shine that promotes hair growth and sleekness.
