What does it do?

Beeswax is a natural wax ingredient used in skin protectants, primarily for softening the skin and preventing moisture loss. It is included in topical preparations that aid in wound healing or soothe skin irritation.

Beeswax forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, protecting it from external irritants and preventing moisture evaporation. This helps to prevent the skin from drying out and improves the healing environment for wound areas.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other moisturizing ingredients, beeswax has a unique viscosity and protective quality characteristic of natural wax, allowing it to remain on the skin for an extended period and maintain its protective effect. It is also low in irritation, making it safe for sensitive skin.
