Beeswax

Cera Alba · BeeswaxBarrier

Honeybee-derived wax. Workhorse occlusive in lip balms and rich body balms.

What it does

Beeswax is the structural occlusive in many balm formulations — it traps moisture against the skin and stabilizes the formula's texture. Common in lip products, body balms, and the heaviest face creams. Generally non-comedogenic on lips and body but can feel heavy on facial skin. Vegans typically substitute candelilla wax.
