Bees Wax
After extracting the honey from the frames, we are left with the wax. We then render the wax by separating the wax from the pollen and propolis larval.
When applied to the skin bees wax forms a breathable protective layer between the skin and the elements without clogging the pores.
Fact: It takes 10 lbs of honey to make one pound of wax.
Propolis
Propolis also known as bee glue, is made from combining resins collected from trees with the wax and nectar. It is used to patch up and seal up holes in bee hives protecting them from the elements. It is also used to help increase structural stability of the hive. Bee propolis has been used for its antiseptic, antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used to patch up wounds, scratches, cuts and sores. Propolis is now a popular skin care product used to repair damaged skin, reduce redness and wrinkles, smoothing out skin.
