Beeswax (organic)
(Cera alba)
The wax is obtained
by melting the walls of the honeycomb of the bee, Apis mellifera,
with hot water and removing the foreign matter. Beeswax is included
in our products to provide a protective coat on the skin.
Has a protective action, and helps to make skin care products
water resistant. We use it in our lip balms.
Beeswax golden amber colour, makes bars softer to touch pleasant
scent of honey, valued for emulsifying creams and ointments. For
hand milled soaps or melt and pour soaps add small quantities
at beginning of process, stir well otherwise it creates hard bits.
If you take to much the soap goes to soft. It can make the soap
lather less.
