USP Grade Beeswax Yellow Color for Food , Pharmaceutical Applications

Organic USP beeswax origin:

To create an Organic Beeswax, the bees that it is harvested from must only be allowed to feed on Certified Organic botanicals. This is accomplished by placing the apiaries on Organic land, surrounded by several miles of either Organic or uncultivated botanicals. In addition to the setting of the colonies, beekeepers must use alternative methods for caring and cultivating their hives. Antibiotics, and chemical pesticides cannot be used to maintain them. Organic Beekeeping is a challenging, but rewarding industry.

Features of organic beeswax:

The highest quality beeswax is USP grade beeswax. Our beeswax is 100% natural and filtered. Beeswax is the oldest and purest wax in the world. At honey harvest time the honeycombs are carefully opened to allow for honey to drain from the comb. The bees seal the honey into the combs with wax capping placed over every cell filled with honey. This capping is removed at harvest and is used in the production of our beeswax. Collected from unsprayed and unfertilized fields, it is perfect for cosmetic, food and hoy uses. With its high water-holding capacity, it is great for lotions, lip balms and skin care products. Beeswax soothes and softens the skin, protects it from dehydration and provides antibacterial properties. And since beeswax candles emit very little smoke, our beeswax is great for making candles, too.

Beeswax in Foods:
In small quantities, beeswax can be used to help prevent the aging and water loss of some food items. Certain products like cheese can contain beeswax as a protective coating. Beeswax can also be used as a food additive to allow for exterior protection with some fruits. Most commonly, beeswax is used as an ingredient to make natural chewing gum.

Beeswax in Skincare:
Beeswax in bath and body products is quickly taking the spotlight over similar skin protectants like petroleum jelly. Beeswax when introduced to bath and body products can thicken the consistency. For the skin, beeswax will actually lock moisture in, yet will still allow the skin to breathe. This barrier that beeswax leaves is long lasting too. Not only does this amazing wax keep us moisturized, it also will keep skin protected from the harsh environments. Beeswax also works as a skin softener, and nourishes our skin too.

Beeswax also has medicinal benefits to its use in body products as well. Beeswax has anti inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. These three properties make beeswax very helpful for the healing of smaller wounds and injuries and can also be used for slight skin irritations too. Beeswax works as an antioxidant, and is a good source for vitamin A. This ingredient is great to use when making products specifically for dry and rough skin types because vitamin A promotes hydrating and softening, as well as stimulates cell repair.

Common products that can be made with the use of beeswax in their formulation are skin moisturizers, and body creams. In this type of body care, beeswax plays the role of an emollient (skin softening and/or soothing) and humectant (attracts water and helps to absorb it in the skin). These properties also remain true for soap making with beeswax.

When it comes to hair care products, beeswax can be used to make hair pomades and moustache waxes. The addition of beeswax to hair care products allows for a luxurious shine and sleek look to the hair.
