Beeswax
Beeswax is secreted from glands in honeybees’ abdomens. While beeswax includes over 280 substances, it consists primarily of five compounds: monoesters, hydrocarbons, free fatty acids and diesters & complex esters.
Honey bees make beeswax to create combs — thin-walled hexagonal cells used as places to raise new bees, transform pollen into “bee bread” and store honey.
Beeswax is a natural substance that is rarely if ever harmful to humans; it can be safely consumed or applied to the skin as a lotion or balm. Beeswax is flammable, with a relatively low flashpoint (around 400 degrees Fahrenheit), and so should be used with caution in cooking and around open flames.
Beeswax is malleable, chemically soluble, water insoluble, edible and flammable, which means it can be molded into objects on its own, melted and mixed into solutions, used to waterproof surfaces, eaten, or used to start fires or provide light. The unique chemical composition of beeswax makes it both a thickening and thinning agent, depending on what it is mixed with — this means it can be used to create solid objects, such as crayons, candles and ornaments, or viscous solutions such as balms, ointments and lubricants.
While there are a host of commercial products available that are made in part out of beeswax, there are many products made of beeswax you can make at home, from soaps, lips balms and skin moisturizers, to shoe & boot waterproofing and polish, to counter & furniture polish, hinge lubrication and pot & pan polish & preservative.
To melt , use a double boiler or a slow cooker to gently heat it. Direct heat should be avoided to prevent degradation of the wax. It melts at around 62°C to 65°C (144°F to 149°F). Always monitor the temperature and avoid overheating. Once melted, the beeswax can be mixed into other ingredients for skincare, candle-making, or other uses.
Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It has a long shelf life and will remain solid and usable for many years if kept properly. It’s often best to keep it in airtight containers to maintain its freshness and prevent dust or contaminants from affecting it.
It can sometimes contain impurities like pollen or propolis. If you wish to clean or purify raw beeswax, it can be melted and filtered through a fine mesh or cheesecloth to remove impurities. If you're using it in skincare or other applications, cleaning the wax ensures you’re working with a smooth and pure product.

Always monitor the temperature and avoid overheating. Once melted, the beeswax can be mixed into other ingredients for skincare, candle-making, or other uses.
The difference between raw beeswax and processed beeswax is that raw beeswax is in its natural state and has not been refined, bleached, or treated. It still retains natural impurities like pollen, propolis, and royal jelly. Processed beeswax is purified, often making it more uniform in color and texture but with fewer natural properties and benefits. Raw beeswax typically has a stronger scent and may have a more rough texture compared to its processed counterpart.
Propolis
It is a natural resin made by honeybees from the sap of trees and plants. Bees mix the resin with their saliva and wax to create propolis, which they use to seal cracks and gaps in their hives. It is unprocessed, pure form, with all of the natural compounds and benefits without any chemical treatment or additives.
