Beeswax (Yellow)

Yellow Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees and harvested from the honeycomb. In cosmetic and skincare formulations, it’s valued for its ability to thicken, stabilize, and provide structure in balms, lotions, and solid bars. It creates a breathable barrier on the skin that helps lock in moisture while giving products firmness and a smooth texture. While alpha-gal safe, it is not vegan. Our Beeswax (Yellow) is sourced from Bulk Apothecary for consistency and quality.
