Use this clean, pure, organic beeswax in your home made skin care preparations with confidence. Beeswax Pastilles (also knowns as pellets or pearls) are considerably easier to measure, making it a piece of cake to prepare a small healing salve or face moisturizer quickly. No need to painfully grate beeswax off a hard block, just use as many or as little pastilles as needed in your recipe. BENEFITS: Beeswax forms a protective barrier that helps protect your skin from environmental assaults, while also holding in moisture and reducing dryness. Beeswax has antibacterial properties, helping keep skin clean and reducing the risks of contamination in the formula itself. Some ingredients “attract” water, and beeswax is one of them. When you put it on, you attract water molecules, helping to keep skin hydrated over time.Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, beeswax has been found to help encourage the healing of wounds. IT has unlimited shelf life. This is quite a statement and we have not tested how unlimited shelf life is - however beeswax candles have been found in the tombs of Egyptian rulers dating back to 3000 BC, so buy with confidence and keep your beeswax stored and use it when you need it.
