Beeswax
Pure Beeswax is a product made by the female honeybee. The bees use the wax to make honeycomb in the hive. When the honeycomb is full of nectar (honey) the bees close it off with more wax. The beekeeper removes this wax and melts it down to make beeswax.
Pure Beeswax is a vital non-toxic raw material with a low melting point and has a soft pliable character which makes it perfect to use as a thickening agent for many cosmetic goods such as creams, lotions, and body butter. Other uses include furniture wax, crafting projects, and making candles, just to name a few.
