Introduction & Applications
Beeswax is the
creamy colored substance used by honeybees to build the comb that forms the
structure of their nest. It is secreted as a liquid from four pairs of wax
glands on the ventral surface of abdominal tergites, and is obtained from the
honeycombs of bees after honey has been removed by draining or centrifuging. Due
to its properties of high binding strength, excellent plasticity and
emulsifiability, etc., it is widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical
industry
*In the cosmetics manufacturing industry, many beauty

*In the pharmaceutical industry, beeswax can be used to make dental casting wax,
base wax, sticky wax, pill shell, etc.
