Caution:

When using natural unrefined beeswax in cosmetic formulations, it’s important to consider its melting point and how it affects the texture of the final product. It should be appropriately balanced with other ingredients to achieve the desired consistency and performance. Additionally, as a natural product, the color and scent of beeswax can vary slightly depending on the source, which may impact the final appearance and aroma of the cosmetic product.
