Further information

Beeswax itself, consists mainly of esters, a cleavage product of long chain fatty alcohols and organic acids, in the majority palmitic. Beeswax (cosmetic) has in its characteristic composition proportions of pure beeswax, other natural wax-like fatty acids and saturated hydrocarbons. This component composition may vary depending on the origin and production. And not all bees are the same: there are a total of more than 560 species of wild bees in Germany alone. The most popular breeding bee in Europe, however, is the Carnica or Krainer bee. It is considered to be particularly docile because it forms a symbiotic relationship with humans. 

Storage

Please note that our cosmetic beeswax does not exclusively contain beeswax and other wax-like additives may be added.
