White beeswax is used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. It has qualities that help to soften and nourish the dermis, so it is ideal for preventing skin aging. In cosmetics, it favours the care of delicate skin, especially dry skin in the form of creams, ointments, plasters, lip balms, cleansing creams and facial masks. It is also used in beekeeping to facilitate the construction of honeycombs. In food it is used as an additive but also in the production of biodegradable and reusable packaging.
