Product Description

Pure Yellow Beeswax for Natural Skincare and Lip Balm Recipes

Yellow Beeswax is a natural wax secreted by honey bees (worker bees), mainly composed of fatty acid esters, long-chain alcohols and a small amount of unesterified fatty acids. Its unbleached original form is yellow to brownish yellow, with a mild honey aroma. It is widely used in cosmetics (creams, lipsticks), pharmaceuticals (ointment bases) and candle manufacturing as an emulsifier, thickener and moisturizer, and has both natural stability and biocompatibility.

Function

1. Emulsification and thickening: stabilize oil-water mixture and improve the texture of creams and pastes (both O/W and W/O systems are acceptable).
2. Moisturizing and sealing: form a breathable protective film to reduce skin moisture loss (such as lip balm, hand cream).
3. Soft gloss: enhance product ductility and give lipstick and hair wax a natural gloss.
4. Natural substitution: replace synthetic wax (such as paraffin), in line with the "clean beauty" trend.
5. Pharmaceutical excipients: as an ointment base to prolong the sustained release time of drugs.

 

Application

1. Cosmetics
• Cream/lotion: add 2-10% as an emulsifier to improve stability.

• Lipstick/lip balm: 10-30% content provides structural support and moisturizing effect.

• Hair wax/eyebrow cream: enhance shaping power and avoid stiffness.

2. Pharmaceuticals
• Ointment base: compounded with vaseline and oils, suitable for topical skin preparations.

3. Handicrafts
