3 benefits of Beeswax for skin
Beeswax has plenty of benefits for skin, which is why it can be found in a wide range of beauty products.
Its creamy texture is non-pore clogging and it has a low rate of allergic reactions. We don’t use it in many of our products because it is not suitable for vegans but we think so much of Beeswax we do use it in selected products.
Benefits of Beeswax for skin include:
- Being naturally water repellent without clogging pores
- Protecting the skin barrier
- Locking in hydration to keep skin feeling soft for longer
We’ll look at these benefits in more detail in the next few sections.
1. Water repellent
The molecular structure and water repellence of Beeswax makes it ideal for anchoring make-up products and balms to your skin, meaning you can rely on it to deliver long-lasting benefits.
Our naturally water-resistant mascara contains organic Beeswax to protect lashes from raindrops and tears.
It has the added benefit of nourishing the lashes, rather than leaving them brittle.
2. Protects the skin barrier
The natural barrier properties of Beeswax mean that it forms a protective film on the surface of the skin.
This helps to protect the skin from harm – crucially without blocking the pores and or stopping the skin from being able to breathe.
3. Prevents water loss
Not only does Beeswax help to keep water out, but it also helps keep water in. By acting as a protective, breathable layer on the skin’s surface, Beeswax helps to lock in moisture for soft, hydrated skin.
We particularly love Beeswax in our soothing balms; scroll down for more about them!
