WHITE BEESWAX

White Beeswax (INCI: Cera Alba) is a purified, naturally-derived wax produced by honeybees and then filtered to remove impurities and color. It’s prized in cosmetic formulations for its ability to stabilize emulsions, thicken textures, and lock in moisture, all while delivering a smooth, velvety finish.

Skin Soothing: Naturally anti-inflammatory and non-irritating

Eco-Friendly Alternative: Biodegradable and safer than synthetic waxes
