Description
High-Quality 100% Pure Natural Beeswax
100% Pure Natural Beeswax, chemically composed of complex esters (palmitic acid esters ~71%), free fatty acids (~13.5%), hydrocarbons (~12.5%), and other compounds with melting point 62-64°C and CAS number 8012-89-3, is a natural organic wax secreted by worker honeybees through four pairs of wax glands located on the ventral side of their abdomen. Fresh beeswax is initially clear and colorless, becoming yellow, brown, or even black through contact with honey, pollen, and propolis in the hive. This remarkable natural material has been used for over 4,000 years across multiple civilizations for preservation, waterproofing, medicinal applications, and artistic purposes. With exceptional properties including water resistance, antimicrobial activity, non-toxic nature, biodegradability, and excellent moldability, beeswax provides effective protection, preservation, and functional enhancement, making it essential for cosmetic formulations, pharmaceutical applications, food processing, candle manufacturing, and industrial processes requiring reliable natural wax performance and environmental compatibility.
