What is it?
Cera Alba, commonly known as beeswax, is a natural wax produced by honeybees. It is created by worker bees in the hive and used to build the honeycomb structure. In skincare, beeswax is prized for its emollient, protective, and soothing properties. It is a versatile ingredient that can lock in moisture, create a protective barrier on the skin, and contribute to the texture of skincare products.
Where does it come from?
Beeswax is harvested from the honeycombs of beehives. After the honey is extracted, the honeycomb is collected and purified to create pure beeswax. Olive Tree People's honey bees thrive in the lush olive groves of Arroyomolinos de LeΓ³n, Spain, where over 300,000 bees find their home. Nestled among more than 30,000 mountainous olive trees, these bees are integral to the vibrant ecosystem that Olive Tree People conserves.
