Beeswax Yellow

BEESWAX YELLOW

Here's a time-tested natural wax that brings protection and texture to your formulations: Beeswax Yellow.

Harvested from the hives of Apis mellifera honeybees, this unrefined wax retains its natural golden hue and mild, honey-like scent qualities that make it especially appealing in natural and handmade products. Containing a complex mixture of esters, hydrocarbons, and free fatty acids, Beeswax Yellow is naturally rich in myricyl alcohol and various acids known to effectively protect and support the skin. Valued for its emulsifying strength, film-forming ability, and conditioning benefits, it creates a breathable barrier that locks in moisture and improves texture, while offering structure and stability to balms, salves, and emulsions – not to mention longevity to cosmetic formulations using this all-natural ingredient.

Add semi-soft and pliable Beeswax Yellow to your creations for a comforting natural touch, dependable consistency, and a beautiful finish that blends heritage with high performance.

• Naturally rich in myricyl alcohol and long-chain fatty acids like palmitic and cerotic acid, Beeswax Yellow provides structure, emollient benefits, and long-lasting skin protection.
• These constituents help create a breathable barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and shielding against environmental stress – making Beeswax Yellow ideal for dry, cracked, or sensitive skin.
• Also containing Oleic acid, Beeswax Yellow supports skin hydration and flexibility, helping to soften and nourish the skin without leaving a greasy feeling or residue.
• Heptacosane contributes to the wax’s stability and resistance to oxidation, improving the shelf life and performance of balms, creams, and emulsions.
• The natural film-forming properties of Beeswax Yellow also help stabilise formulations, enhance texture, and support the delivery of other active ingredients.
