Save the bees has become a popular slogan in today’s eco-conscious society, and given that they pollinate one-third of the crops we consume, we should be shouting it from the rooftops! Along with being an integral element of our ecosystem, a lesser-known fact is that beeswax has remarkable skin health advantages.

Beeswax has a long history with mankind, having been used for waterproofing, lubrication, and hair removal. It was only recently that it was used into current organic skincare products such as natural lip balm, owing to its emulsifying properties, which enhance its numerous skin health advantages.

BEESWAX — WHAT IS IT?

Beeswax is the material that lines the inside of a honeycomb and is secreted by worker bees in a busy honey bee swarm. Additionally known as cera alba, it has a unique chemical structure that is similar to that of esters, which are composed of long-chain alcohols and fatty acids.

Its complex composition — at least 284 acids, alkanes, polyesters, and more — endows it with a unique consistency and significant health benefits for humans, in part due to the nectar and pollen absorbed during the moulding process of those distinctive hexagonal-shaped honeycombs.

BEESWAX AND ORGANIC SKINCARE

As with honey, beeswax has a plethora of health benefits, which makes it an increasingly popular ingredient in organic skincare products such as natural lip balm. Because it is hypoallergenic, it is the ideal active component for hydrating sensitive skin.

Another significant advantage of applying beeswax on the skin is its dreamy scent. Natural skincare products, such as Clean & Pure’s organic lip balms, are free of harsh ingredients and flavours, making the pleasant perfume of beeswax the ideal complement for healthy skin and lips that also smell incredible.

BEESWAX SKIN BENEFITS

The magic of beeswax in skincare is in the natural barrier it creates, allowing our skin to retain moisture while protecting it from harsh environmental conditions, and its entirely natural composition makes it absolutely safe to apply topically, especially as an antioxidant natural lip balm with SPF.

AVOCADO VITAMIN

Beeswax contains Vitamin A, which aids in the healing of inflamed skin — ideal for individuals suffering from eczema or dermatitis — while also protecting us from the environment.

ANTI-EVERYTHING!

Beeswax has an impressive track record when it comes to skin health — it is antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory! These natural defensive properties make it an ideal complement to organic skincare, feeding the skin while also protecting it and mending any wounds.

NO BLOCKED RESOURCES

While beeswax forms a strong barrier for our skin, it does so while allowing it to breathe. Due to its capacity to protect without blocking pores, it is ideal for those who suffer from acne.

RETENTION OF WATER

Did you aware that beeswax not only attracts but also retains water? Due to its humectant properties, it is a supercharged moisturiser that keeps skin hydrated, nourished, and gorgeously plump.

NATURAL CARE MANUFACTURED FROM CLEAN & PURE INGREDIENTS

As proud suppliers of all-natural, organic skin care products made in Western Australia, Clean & Pure have long been proponents of beeswax in nourishing lip balms. Each ingredient is 100% organic and meets food grade standards, and we combine vital ingredients to produce potent lip balms (manuka honey and beeswax, anyone?!) that can protect and heal while also smelling beautiful.

When it comes to skincare, sophisticated marketing efforts might deceive you with claims of miraculous anti-aging. The truth is quite different, since major brand skin care products contain few active ingredients, which are then topped up with filler goods containing pollutants and even poisons.

Toxins are terrible for humans, as we all know, which has led to an increase in clean eating and low-processed diets. So why don’t we do the same for our largest organ, our skin? Organic skincare products include better active ingredients and full openness on additional components, making the move to natural skincare a no-brainer.

NATURAL SKINCARE BENEFITS

Natural skincare products include a large majority of active chemicals, up to 95 percent in certain circumstances, and are more effective than synthetic counterparts due to their higher amount of antioxidants. Organically cultivated and sourced components help preserve your skin and minimise pigmentation, resulting in greater long-term effects.

By just applying natural substances to your skin, you are treating it with care and lowering the risk of dry, irritated skin, which is prevalent with artificial products containing components that are toxic to our skin.

ARTIFICIAL SKINCARE VS NATURAL SKINCARE

INGREDIENTS

Artificial skincare products contain preservatives, stabilisers, and scents, which cause dry skin to develop over time. These harsh substances are unsuitable for our skin, but skincare rich in nutrients and organic components has no negative effects and simply provides nutrition.

RESULTS

Many people are irritated and inflamed when they use drying lotions and harsh treatments. Organic components are significantly safer and more effective, especially for individuals who have skin sensitivities or disorders such as acne, eczema, or extreme dryness.

MONEY FOR MONEY

Expensive fake items may have appealing branding and huge claims, but because they often include 90 percent filler ingredients, you’re squandering money. Because natural skincare contains the bulk of active components, you may use less product to achieve the same effects.

ORGANIC SKINCARE’S ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

By investing in natural skincare products, you are also investing in our planet’s future. More farmers will convert to responsible techniques as more consumers opt for cosmetics featuring organic products sourced in a sustainable manner, such as pawpaw and manuka honey.

Using just raw foods eliminates the necessity for chemical manufacture as well as animal testing — there is no need for it without those toxic additions, resulting in minimum risk to our health.

FORMULATING A NATURAL SKINCARE ROUTINE

It may be daunting right now to modify your existing skincare routine and transition to a clean and healthy lifestyle. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself; start small and gradually progress to a very effective organic skincare routine.

Make a list of all the goods you use, then pick one to focus on initially. Investigate comparable organic products and ensure that the ingredients are fully natural. Choose one to test, then go through it again and again until you discover the greatest fit for your skin type. Continue until you’ve transformed your complete collection with high-quality natural skincare!
