Beeswax (Cera Alba)
Other names: Cera Alba (Beeswax)
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Beeswax, scientifically known as Cera Alba, is a natural product created by worker bees. It is one of the main components from which bees build their honeycombs. Beeswax is dense and firm, yet flexible and plastic. In the air it is yellowish in colour, which is due to the presence of pollen and propolis. Without the remnants of propolis and pollen, the wax is almost white, which is why it is also known as white wax (Cera Alba).
Beeswax is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food processing. It is an integral part of many creams, lip balms or ointments, where it acts as a consistency and also increases the moisturising capacity of the product. In the food industry, beeswax is used in the production of confectionery such as chewing gum, but also as a coating on cheese or fruit to protect it from drying out. It is also very often used in the manufacture of candles. In medicine, beeswax is often used as a base for ointments and creams, but it is also a component of some medicines.
