Natural cosmetics with beeswax

Moisturizer of beeswax and olive oil

Natural beeswax is a product that has numerous applications in various industries such as pharmaceutical, beauty, cosmetics, textiles, footwear, wood and furniture, etc. We think that, as beekeepers, we have to know the different uses and applications that can be given to beeswax in order to get more out of the beekeeping activity. If we consider natural beeswax as a natural resource that can be transformed into a value-added product, then we can value it with the importance it deserves.

In this article, we will highlight the importance of beeswax as a star ingredient in the many beauty and aesthetic products that we can currently find in beauty, aesthetic, and specialty stores.

In this case, to make a natural cosmetic facial cream based on beeswax, we will need natural ingredients that can be easily obtained and will give a very good and surprising result.

We can make ourselves a moisturizer based on natural beeswax and virgin olive oil, using utensils that we normally have in our home: 6 grams of beeswax, 60 grams of extra virgin olive oil, 1 pot, 2 cups glass, 1 wooden stick, 1 container to store the cream.

Natural beeswax can be purchased directly from the beekeeper or from a shop specializing in the sale of bee products and products such as honey, propolis, pollen, natural beeswax, etc.

We will follow the following steps to make the moisturizer:

1. We will boil the water in a pot

2. We will put the 6 grams of beeswax in one of the glasses. We will put the glass cup inside the pot with boiling water. The wax will slowly melt inside the glass cup.

3. We will put the 60 grams of virgin olive oil inside the other glass

4. When we see that the wax has already melted, we will slowly add olive oil to the wax. We will stir slowly until the oil and wax melt into a uniform mass.

5. We will fill the container with the cream we just made, and put it in the fridge. After 1 hour in the fridge, we can take out the container with the cream and stir it again. Then we will keep it in the fridge for another hour.

6. Finally, we already have the natural moisturizer based on beeswax and virgin olive oil. These two ingredients are natural and very beneficial for the skin. Always consult a healthcare professional whenever natural remedies are applied for all types of ailments or conditions. In this way, we can make good use of all the natural products that nature offers us.
