Beeswax is a bee product secreted from the wax glands of the worker bee. It serves as a material for building comb and protecting against moisture. While in the wax glands located in the bee's stomach, it is in a liquid state. Upon exiting the wax tubes, upon contact with air, the wax hardens into white translucent plates. When building the comb, it is always white in color, which gradually turns to cream color, light yellow to dark yellow, but there is wax that is greenish or reddish in color. This depends on the natural food of the bees and especially the natural colors present in propolis and floral dust – pollen.

Natural wax has a pleasant specific aroma of honey, which is most noticeable when heated and melted. The wax is tasteless, with a crystalline structure that depends on temperature. Chemically, beeswax is a complex mixture involving over 300 different substances. It contains essential oils. It is characterized by great resistance to the environment, which is why it can preserve its properties unchanged for thousands of years.

Since ancient times, beeswax has been used for medical and cosmetic purposes. The results of scientific research in recent years in many countries have confirmed its medicinal properties. It has an antibiotic effect – it destroys microorganisms. It is used to treat inflammatory and allergic diseases of the respiratory tract. Beeswax possesses a wide spectrum of effects. It softens hard tissues of the skin, which becomes soft and smooth. It removes wrinkles on the face and aids in the revitalization process. All this determines the significant place of wax in cosmetics.

Candles made from beeswax are much healthier and environmentally friendly than ordinary candles. When you light a regular candle, you pollute the air and inhale the chemicals in it, which can cause difficulties in liver function, leukemia, and neurological problems. The scent of artificial candles can damage the lungs, cause headaches, and trigger allergy symptoms. Beeswax candles purify the air in your home. They can improve mood, increase energy levels, and health.
