How Does Having Beeswax In your Skin Care Products Benefit Your Skin? If you pay attention to the ingredient list on natural skin care products, you will notice beeswax listed. Beeswax is often added to skin care products for its many amazing health benefits. I personally have found beeswax in body lotions, facial moisturizers, hand creams, lip balms, lip gloss, soaps, massage oils, and body scrubs.
Often beeswax is added to our skin care products for its ability to protect. Beeswax forms a natural protective barrier on the surface of our skin. This barrier helps protect us from the many environmental toxins we are exposed to each day, while still allowing our skin to breathe. Unlike products that contain petroleum based ingredients, beeswax won’t clog our pores.
Beeswax and honey both have anti-inflammatory properties as well as antibacterial and antiviral. This means that using beeswax and/or honey in your skin care products will help calm and soothe your skin.
Many times you will see beeswax in your lip balms. This is because beeswax acts as a humectant. Beeswax attracts water molecules. Using a lip balm that contains beeswax will pull moisture into your lips and lock it in for longer periods of time. A lip balm with beeswax may be especially beneficial to those with severely dry chapped skin.
Beeswax naturally contains Vitamin A. Vitamin A has been found to help with cell reconstruction. Skin care products with beeswax could be of great use if you have minor skin irritations, acne, eczema or Psoriasis.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.

I have seen beeswax as an ingredient in products but was unaware of its benefits. I do like to use natural products when I can.

What an interesting post, I always knew that beeswax was a good thing, but I had no idea about all of the benefits! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so the fact that it’s a natural anti-inflammatory makes me want to go out and buy all the products! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

beeswax is one of the most amazing things. Same with honey. It’s incredible what tiny insects can do with pollen!

I love what beeswax can not only do for your skin but your body as well. I love using this on my lips in the winter time to protect my skin from the harsh cold weather.
