Beeswax and its Benefits
One of the key ingredients in In Awe products is natural beeswax, which has been used for healing since ancient times.
Produced by wax-producing glands in the bee abdomen, the beeswax is removed from honeycombs, melted, and purified before being used in cosmetics, cosmeceuticals and skincare products.
"...natural beeswax has been used for healing since ancient times"
Beeswax has a number of benefits, including;
- It naturally forms a protective barrier that holds moisture in and is ideal for keeping skin hydrated, while also allowing it to breathe.
- Sterols also have a lubricating and softening effect on skin, as well as an adhesive effect, which helps ointments stay on.
- Antiseptic properties, which come from the flavonoid chrysin, squalene and 10-hydroxy-trans-2-decenoic acid contained in it. The film it creates on the skin acts protects from pathogenic microorganisms.
- On top of its antimicrobial and regenerative effects, chrysin also relieves inflammation.
- It’s a natural source of vitamin A because it contains β-carotene. Research reveals vitamin A is essential for healthy skin and skin regeneration, helps improve wound healing, delays collagen degradation, and reduces wrinkles.
- Antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to the free fatty alcohols in it.
In Awe products are 100% Australian made and contain ethically sourced and harvested natural beeswax.
