White Beeswax

What is white beeswax?

Beeswax is a natural wax produced by bees, which is often used in cosmetic products and making candles. White beeswax has been refined to remove the natural yellow colouring of beeswax.

Benefits of white beeswax

Beeswax is popular in many cosmetic products because of the way it forms a protective barrier on the skin, trapping moisture and keeping it hydrated. It is also often used as a thickener and to help harden soap bars.

White beeswax is often used for cosmetics and soaps because it allows colours to be added without having the natural colour affect the outcome.

First and foremost, we only deal with suppliers with whom we have an established relationship of trust. The final testing and processing of the beeswax is carried out in the UK, and common contaminants are tested for.
