Yellow Beeswax for Cosmetics Candles and Craft Production
Yellow beeswax is a natural animal-derived product obtained from honeycomb cappings. It has a soft yet solid texture, a warm golden color, and a delicate honey aroma. Rich in complex esters, fatty acids, and natural resins, it is valued in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, candle making, and artisan crafts.
In cosmetic formulations, yellow beeswax functions as a natural thickener, stabilizer, and protective component. It forms a breathable film on the skin that locks in moisture, improves product stability, and enhances texture. It is used in lip balms, creams, solid perfumes, massage bars, and hair conditioners.
In the pharmaceutical industry, beeswax is incorporated into ointments, healing balms, and protective coatings for medicinal forms. In candle making, it is appreciated for its clean, long burn, natural scent, and eco-friendliness. In woodworking and crafts, it serves as a polish, water repellent, and protective layer for finished products.
Usage in Formulations
Yellow beeswax blends well with vegetable and essential oils. Recommended dosage: for creams 3–8%, for lip balms 10–25%, for solid perfumes 20–30%. Candle recipes are adjusted according to desired hardness and burn time.
