What is Virgin Beeswax
Virgin beeswax is highly prized for its vibrant golden yellow hue and naturally sweet honey aroma. Harvested from the hive’s first cappings, this unprocessed beeswax retains a purity and delicacy unmatched by processed alternatives. Its composition is rich in beneficial compounds like pollen and propolis, making it ideal for cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
The minimal processing preserves its raw, natural integrity.
