Beeswax has many and varied uses. Apart from this use by bees, the use of beeswax has become widespread and varied. Yellow beeswax is the crude product obtained from the honeycomb.
Use of beeswax in skin care and cosmetics has been increasing recently. It can be used in Barrier Creams, Lip Balms, Hand Creams, Lip Gloss & Moisturizers. Beeswax is an important ingredient in moustache wax also, which make hair look sleek and shiny.
Candle-making has long involved the use of beeswax, which is highly flammable, and this material traditionally was prescribed for the making of the Easter Candle. Beeswax candles are also a negative-ion generator, purifying the air when they are burnt and not polluting the air like paraffin does.
