Production & description
White beeswax is obtained by bleaching yellow beeswax.

Beeswax white Ph. Eur.
Gustav Heess
Our beeswax white is obtained by melting the emptied combs of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) with hot water. In the next step the melt is cleaned from solid impurities. After cooling, the solidified yellow beeswax is obtained. In order to obtain white beeswax, it is bleached in a subsequent step using oxidizing agents. All production steps and analyses comply with the specifications of the Pharmacopoeia Europaea (Ph. Eur.).
Usage
-
Cosmetics
Due to its hardness beeswax white cannot be used directly as an ointment base, but because of its high water retention capacity in mixtures with liquid paraffin or oils it serves as an emulsifier in lipsticks, face creams, lotions, mascara, eye creams, eye shadow, make-up, cornea-removing agents (rub-off cream) and nail-white sticks.
