Beeswax
Beeswax acts as a protective layer for the skin providing non-occlusive skin protection, meaning that it forms a protective yet breathable network on the skins surface which helps to limit moisture loss. It is non-allergic, and has elastic and water repellent properties which allows it to sustain sunscreen action and provides greater permanence on skin or lip surfaces.
It contains Vitamin A which helps support skin cell turnover, is hypo allergenic and promotes wound healing.
The Mayo Clinic recommends lip balm made from beeswax for chapped lip care and prevention.
You will find our New Zealand beeswax in all our balms, lipbalms and Very Hardworkers Handcreme.

Helps relieve itchy, dry and inflammed skin.
