Beeswax is a very complex natural ingredient produced by bees for construction of honeycombs in beehives. 

It was used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes in ancient times, when it served as tooth-filling material too. Rich in vitamins (in particular vitamin A) and antioxidants. Valued in cosmetics mainly for its regenerating, firming and protective properties. Beeswax is naturally hydrating, helps maintain moisture in the skin and creates protective barrier that prevents loss of water. 

Thanks to its regenerating qualities beeswax can promote cell renewal and treat chapped or problematic skin. That is why beeswax is a popular ingredient in lip balms.
