Beeswax

Made of beeswax - A Quality Spa Beauty Treatment

Beeswax begins its journey in the flowers see in the spring and summer that dot the road ... and even the flowers in your front yard. The bees collect nectar is taken back to the hive for food; among other things. Bees process honey nectar. Honey is their main food source, the excess is stored in the hive for leaner months when food is scarce. Today I want to educate others about the use of honey: his conversion in beeswax.

During the time that there have been bees, humans have consumed honey and wax bee used for everything from drugs to coin of the realm. People have used to make beauty products, art, and even candles. In many moments of human history has been finally used as currency. The process of beeswax is more complex than an oil refinery that makes petroleum products.

Beeswax is critical for the bee colony. It's the bee produces beeswax - in particular, the worker bees (always females) the use of wax to build their combs. They have special glands in the lower abdomen that secrete the wax, which expels the glands in the legs as a clear liquid that then chew bees and the press in the cells of the honeycomb. When dry, bees wax becomes a hard white substance, but due to the presence of pollen is usually yellowish or even red. Beeswax also darkens with age and use, for example, when bees are raising a litter. The color has no physical effect on the quality of the wax itself, rather than an aesthetic.

Because of the way they made of beeswax, often smells like honey ... If beeswax has a "Chemical" smell or "medical" is likely to have been altered by humans processing. Money used to be very popular, but has been discontinued due to customer demand 100% purity in beeswax, and the most demanding customers can tell the difference.

Beekeepers have met wax bees from the beginning of the story and further back - but even after millennia, remains a labor-intensive process. The wax is obtained from the hive beekeepers the use of smoke to the bees more docile. It is safer to bees in this way, the smoke is not to protect beekeepers, bees or harm in any way. Next melts and fashion "cakes." These cakes are very durable, and have been traded for centuries by many cultures as a long lasting product. In some parts of beeswax in the world remains the most readily available type of wax used for different purposes of health care to gardening. It is very flexible and weatherproof. Wax usable even found in the tombs!

Throughout the centuries, beeswax has played an important role in history and folklore. As one goes back in time, the list of uses is even longer and its most pronounced. The importance of honey production in antiquity was often secondary to the production of beeswax. Fines were imposed and the taxes paid in beeswax as recently as the 17th century.

Even in times modern beeswax found many uses and applications:

  • Candle making

  • Lip balm (a recipe for this is always at the bottom of this article free of charge)

  • Cosmetics

  • Medicinal Creams

  • Waterproof shoes, fishing line

  • Lubricant for doors, windows, tools

  • Wax for skis, sleds, bowstrings

  • Creates a surface plate moves freely in and pans

  • Furniture polish

  • Soap making

  • Beard and mustache wax

  • Grafting wax

  • Crayons

  • The sealing jams and jellies

  • Reconstructive surgery

  • Waterproofing leather

  • Embalming procedures

  • Dental procedures

I have included a lip balm of beeswax recipe below, or you can check our lip balms in www.NeeNeesSoapShop.com . Thanks for reading!

Lip Balm Beeswax Recipe

Basically, the proportions are as follows:

40% the recipe should be any cosmetic grade oil that is liquid at room temperature (sweet almond, apricot kernel, avocado, grapes, hemp seeds, macadamia nuts, olive oil, sunflower, etc)

25% of the recipe should be any cosmetic grade oil that is solid at room temperature (Coconut, lanolin, palm oil, mango butter, shea butter, etc)

20% of the prescription must be cosmetic grade beeswax (white or yellow pellets or solid blocks)

15% of the recipe should be any cosmetic grade oil that is fragile at room temperature (cocoa butter, palm kernel, etc.)

* Measurements above are "weights" so you can calculate your own recipe in ounces, grams or pounds.

Instructions: melt all the carrier oils, honey, beeswax and butter over low heat. Let the mixture cool slightly, then add flavored oils, essential oils, vitamin E, etc. Stir until ingredients mix well and pour into containers. The easiest way to do this is to buy the cheap 'pointed' drinking glasses of paper (like the guy next to a water cooler). Cut the point and use it as a funnel. Then you can throw them out when finished!

You may have to "play" with this recipe by adding a little more or less pads beeswax. As with any of these recipes, if comes out too soft, add a little more pellets of beeswax, and if it is too hard, add a little almond oil (or other oil). They are really hard spoil, so enjoy and have fun.

Description

Home Natural's Beeswax is 100% organic & natural. It is farmed locally from an organic farm in Southern California. The beeswax is cosmetic safe and has been tested. This beeswax works great when making body lotions, lip balms, and more! Our farmers collect the beeswax from unsprayed and unfertilized fields from their organic farm. At harvest time, the honeycombs are carefully opened and the honey is drained and collected. Once that is completed, the bees will seal the leftover honey inside the combs with a wax. This sealing procedure is called "capping". The wax or "capping" is collected from the honeycombs and is used in our production of our organic beeswax bars.
