Beeswax

THE NATURAL SKIN PROTECTANT THAT SOOTHES AND HYDRATES

Protective: When applied, beeswax forms a protective barrier that helps to shield the skin from external influences, while also holding in moisture and reducing dryness. This is one of the reasons beeswax is our favourite ingredient and why we use beeswax in our balms and lipbalms.

Vitamin A: Beeswax is a good source of this vitamin. Vitamin A stimulates the production of new skin cells to keep it from becoming overly dry and promoting skin rejuvination.

Aroma: We think there is no reason to use chemicals to make products smell good. Natural ingredients work so much better! Beeswax has a natural honey fragrance and a beautiful light aroma.
