Production & description

Yellow beeswax is the wax obtained by melting the walls of the honeycomb made by the honeybee, Apis mellifera L., with hot water and removing the foreign matter.

Yellow or light brown pieces or plates with a fine-grained, matt and non-crystalline fracture; when warmed in the hand they become soft and malleable. It has a faint odour, characteristic of honey.

Beeswax yellow Ph. Eur.

Gustav Heess

Our yellow beeswax is obtained by melting the emptied combs of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) with hot water. In the next step the melt is cleaned from solid impurities. After cooling, the solidified yellow beeswax is obtained. All production steps and analyses comply with the specifications of the Pharmacopoeia Europaea (Ph. Eur.).

Usage

  • Cosmetics

    Due to its hardness beeswax cannot be used directly as an ointment base, but because of its high water retention capacity in mixtures with liquid paraffin or oils it serves as an emulsifier in lipsticks, face creams, lotions, mascara, eye creams, eye shadow, make-up, cornea-removing agents (rub-off cream) and nail-white sticks.
