Beeswax (also known as cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honey bees of the genus Apis. The wax is formed into scales by eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments of worker bees, which discard it in or at the hive.
Beeswax is a great choice for many skin conditions. A honey, beeswax and olive oil mixture (you can easily make at home) is useful in the treatment of diaper dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.
Beeswax is a product made from the honeycomb of the honeybee and other bees. Bees consume about eight times as much honey and fly 150,000 miles to create one pound of beeswax.
