Beeswax (
cera alba) is a natural
wax produced by
honey bees of the genus
Apis. The wax is formed into "scales" by eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments of
worker bees, who discard it in or at the hive. The hive workers collect and use it to form cells for honey-storage and larval and pupal protection within the
beehive. Chemically, beeswax consists mainly of
esters of
fatty acids and various
long-chain alcoholsUse of beeswax in skin care and cosmetics has been increasing. A German study found beeswax to be superior to similar barrier creams (usually mineral oil-based creams such as
petroleum jelly), when used according to its protocol.
[13] Beeswax is used in
lip balm,
lip gloss,
hand creams, salves, and moisturizers; and in cosmetics such as
eye shadow, blush, and
eye liner. Beeswax is also an important ingredient in
moustache wax and
hair pomades, which make hair look sleek and shiny.
