The conditions under which the beeswax is stored affect its color. When exposed to light, the color fades. Also, higher temperatures favor darker beeswaxes. N. Limsathayourat, H.-U.

Nourishing: Beeswax is rich in nutrients and has moisturising and emollient properties that make it ideal for use in personal care products.

The study took place over a period of 24 weeks, finding that it helped normalize liver function and improve symptoms of fatty liver. 4. Helps Balance Cholesterol Levels Environmental Impact: The production of beauty and personal care products containing beeswax can significantly impact the environment, mainly if produced using unsustainable and unethical practices. When choosing products, it is essential to consider the environmental impact of the manufacturing process, including the use of non-toxic and biodegradable ingredients, the use of renewable energy sources, and the minimisation of waste.Hemorrhoids. Early research shows that applying a mixture of beeswax, honey, and olive oil to the affected area for 12 hours reduces pain, bleeding, and itching due to hemorrhoids.

View abstract.The use of beeswax in skin care and cosmetics has been increasing. A German study found beeswax to be superior to similar barrier creams (usually mineral oil-based creams such as petroleum jelly), when used according to its protocol. [22]
