Description
Beeswax white – Consistency Agent, Natural Lipophilic Structuring Agent
Beeswax is a solid fatty substance extensively used as a consistency ingredient and stabilizer in creams and ointments, functioning as a texturizing agent, increasing the melting point of lipid mixtures, ensuring the thermal stability of sticks, and forming a delicate, hydrophobic protective film on the surface of the epidermis.
Purified beeswax, which becomes nearly white and less intensely scented through filtration and thermal processing, offers the freedom to create compositions without affecting the resulting color or fragrance.
Because it makes the skin soft and velvety, it has been valued since ancient times. It has a soothing effect and helps the skin retain its moisture. A widely used natural ingredient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products as well as in candle making.
Ingredients (INCI): Cera Alba.
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Off-white to yellowish granules, with a subtle, characteristic odor.
- Melting point: 61°C - 65°C.
- Solubility: Soluble upon heating in vegetable oils, butters, and other fats.
- Cosmetic function: Consistency agent, structuring agent for anhydrous formulas, secondary emulsion stabilizer (especially W/O), protective film-forming agent.
Main Properties
- Lipid Structuring: Increases the viscosity and consistency of fluid oils, allowing lipid mixtures to be molded into solid sticks resistant to ambient temperature fluctuations.
- Film-Forming: Forms a thin barrier on the skin, which reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and protects it from environmental factors.
- Emulsion Stabilization: Increases the cohesion of the external oil phase in rich creams (cold cream type), preventing water separation. Acts as a stabilizer and co-emulsifier in W/O emulsions and O/W emulsions.
- Emollient: Soothes and softens the skin, relieving rough and irritated skin.
Applications
- Lip balms, solid lipsticks.
- Therapeutic salves and ointments.
- Dense body creams, restorative hand creams, "Cold Cream" formulations.
- Sunscreen creams, sun care products.
- Solid deodorants in stick or anhydrous balm format.
- Hair styling products (hair wax, pomades).
- Solid perfumes based on wax and vegetable oils.
- Raw material for natural candle manufacturing.
Formulation Guide
- Recommended usage dosage: 1% - 20%+. Incorporate between 1% and 5% as a stabilizer in emulsions and between 5% and 20% (or higher) in balms, lipsticks, ointments, sticks, and other solid products.
- Procedure: Beeswax should always be added to the oil phase of the formulation and heated to approximately 65 - 70°C until completely melted.
- Avoiding Thermal Shock: When preparing emulsions, ensure that the aqueous phase is at the same temperature as the oil phase. Pouring a cold liquid over melted wax will cause it to solidify or form lumps in the mixture.
- Synergies:
- Lip Care: Pairs well with Shea Butter, Gloss Base, Ricin Oil, and Jojoba Oil to create lip balms or lipsticks.
- Restorative Balm: Pairs with Natural Bisabolol for an intensely soothing action on dry areas.
- Salves, Therapeutic Ointments: Can be combined with Calendula Extract, Chamomile Extract, various essential oils, Vitamin E, and Coenzyme Q10.
Safety in Use and Storage
Safety Profile: Purified product, biocompatible, non-toxic, with good skin tolerance.
Precautions: For external cosmetic use only.
Storage: In a closed container, in a dry and cool place.

A very high quality product that I will purchase whenever I need it and recommend it without reservation
Please can you let me know if beeswax can be used as an ingredient in a day cream used as a winter makeup base. I understand it can form a protective layer for the skin. Is this layer sticky or oily? Does it work to apply a foundation after using a cream containing beeswax so that the foundation has a natural effect? Thanks.
It's used in richer body creams as well as lipsticks. It's stable and easy to incorporate. Thank you.
I use it as a stabilizer in creams giving structure and firmness, bringing emollient benefits to the skin especially in products useful for dry, rough and irritated skin.
It is a high quality ingredient, purified, without changing the color or fragrance of the composition, which is an advantage.
I have used a combination of carnauba, candelilla and beeswax for a lip balm and some massage bars (chocolate and floral); wax is very important for the final product to resist even higher temperatures, I discovered on my own skin
A natural ingredient widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and candle making. Because it makes the skin soft and velvety, it has been appreciated since ancient times. It has a soothing effect and helps the skin to maintain moisture. It also acts as a protective barrier, forming a thin layer on the skin.
An excellent wax for formulating conditioners! I am glad you have it in stock all the time and that you are very prompt in sending orders! Thank you!
It gives a firm consistency to lip balms, and resists very well to higher temperatures, helping to stabilize the products in summer especially.
I used it in the soap recipe. I use it a lot in recipes because it prolongs the life of the soap, in other words, it doesn't melt as quickly.
I really like that it gives the soap hardness and is emollient. I will also use it in lip balms. It melts at a higher temperature, but it's worth it.
I am very pleased with this wax.Top quality, easy to use and especially a pleasant smell. I have made solid creams and lotions with it.I will purchase it again for other formulations 🌱.
A consistency factor in creams and emulsions along with emulsifiers and co-emulsifier , for products useful for dry, rough and irritated skin.
I've purchased beeswax from another source before, but this one is higher quality. I use it in lip balms.
I use it for creating creams as an emulsifier, for candles along with soy wax, I am very multuita!
Beeswax is easy to use, melts relatively quickly and is ideal for butters and oil-based conditioners.
