FSS White Beeswax
Sustainably Sourced Beeswax
We recommend using white beeswax to produce creamy textures, for thickening and stability
We don't recommend to be used as a primary emulsifier.
Most formulations that contain just beeswax in the emulsions will require high shear mixing and can tend to separate
Beeswax is secreted by the glands of the honeybee and is used as a building material for honeycombs. Modern agriculture depends on professional beekeeping for pollination of crops. Because of the highly complex composition of beeswax and its soft pliable nature, Beeswax remains an indispensable raw material for many finished products. Beeswax has been used for thousands of years for its unique chemistry which has the ability to produce creamy textures in a variety of cosmetic applications. In emulsions, the free fatty acids can be used to make in-situ emulsifiers, improving emulsion stability. Beeswax can be commonly used in candles, lotions, balms, creams, lotion & shampoo Bars.
