The common uses for beeswax are both diverse and extensive, encompassing a range of industries from beauty to home décor, kitchenware, and more.
As a natural byproduct of the work carried out by honeybees, beeswax does not contain any of the harmful ingredients or chemicals found in other waxes, making it a sustainable and ethical alternative that is becoming increasingly sought after by consumers.
Of course, with any product that sees a steady growth in popularity, you will soon find yourself having to compare different products for their quality. In this case, consumers need to know not just where and how the beeswax has been sourced, but also whether it is organic or not.
What is Organic Beeswax?
For beeswax to be classed as organic, it needs to have been extracted from bees that harvest in an entirely organic environment.
According to our high-quality standards and assurances, that means that the bees have not been exposed to pesticides and other chemicals but have instead created the beeswax using energy that they have gained from organic plants and surrounding matter.
It’s not just a more sustainable and harm-free way of nurturing honeybees, but it creates a beeswax which is safe to use in all manner of applications.
By contrast, standard beeswax boasts no such assurance, with consumers unsure as to the surroundings that the honeybees were exposed to in forming the wax.
Why Organic Beeswax is Better – and What it Can be Used For
Any beeswax could lay claim to the known benefits of this natural product – but only organic beeswax truly boasts the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that pharmaceutical producers and beauty brands herald.
Organic beeswax forms the basis of the finest quality products, primarily because it has been completely untampered with and is a product that has been produced and extracted without the intervention of pesticides and other nasties at any stage. For those considering beeswax candles for their home, or beeswax skincare products, this assurance that no chemical residue is present remains an utmost priority.
