White Beeswax (Cera Alba)

White beeswax is a natural substance produced by worker bees within hives. The history of beeswax dates back to ancient times, where it was already used to make candles, medicines and cosmetics.

White beeswax has numerous beneficial properties for the skin, such as its moisturizing and protective capacity. In addition, it is rich in vitamin A, which makes it an excellent ingredient to combat skin aging.

In the cosmetics industry, white beeswax is used in the production of creams, lip balms, lotions, ointments and other skin care products. It is also used in the manufacture of aromatic candles and in food preservation.

To obtain white beeswax, the honeycombs must be collected from the hives and melted at high temperatures. The wax is then filtered and purified for further use.

The INCI of white beeswax is "Cera Alba". Its CAS number is 8012-89-3. The main components of beeswax are fatty acid esters and hydrocarbons.
