What makes our beeswax lotion so special

What does beeswax do for your skin?

Beeswax is a fantastic ingredient for moisturizer, face lotion, hand lotion, and beauty products. It adds staying powder and can help beauty products stay on longer and can be used instead of pore blocking silicone, acting as an emulsifying agent that allows products to be elastic and buildable. In addition to its emulating properties beeswax simultaneously acts as a natural water repellent while locking in your skins moisture with antiseptic properties that help protect against microorganisms. It does this while providing your skin with Vitamin A which helps maintain collagen and leads to quicker skin regeneration. In addition to all these hydrating and healing properties it leaves a protective layer on your skin without clogging pores. All these benefits are backed by a study conducted in 2020.
