Beeswax
For softer and younger looking skin (The cosmetics industry loves it.)
Wax is produced by the glands of worker bees, which they need to build the honeycomb and to seal the top of honey-filled cells.
Chewing vitamin-fortified candy from honey and wax is a fabulous substitute for chewing gum!
Beeswax contains over 300 natural compounds, among which the main component is fatty-acid esters. Fresh wax is almost pure white, whereas later it turns a yellowish brown colour. It has a pleasant scent reminiscent of honey, propolis and pollen.
Wax is often added to creams because it makes skin soft and supple and has antibiotic properties.The chewing of capping, i.e. the wax covering over honey, is well known, while thermal therapies using beeswax, which are usually carried taken straight after a massage or physiotherapy, are also becoming popular of late.
