Artisanal, Handmade Beeswax Lip Balm - Mint

Beeswax is a by-product of honey harvesting. It is a natural wax produced by individual honeybees of the genus Apis. There are two ways through which it can be extracted, either from the brood with pollen or from honey chambers. If the beeswax is extracted from the honey chambers, most often they are split into three parts out of which the central portion containing the wax is taken out, resulting in the collection of beeswax.

Beeswax has been used for centuries, instead of throwing it out and generating waste, it’s used as a base for our value-added beeswax products. It can be derived from a variety of plants and trees and is considered environmentally friendly and does not pose a threat to the environment.

Beeswax is a multipurpose product which can have numerous moisturising and skincare benefits. Beeswax has non-allergenic properties that can make it a useful skin protector from various airborne allergies. It also carries anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-septic, anti-bacterial and antibiotic qualities that can benefit the body. It is also very rich in vitamin A.

The majority of our products are handmade in our Aadhimalai production centres, which are located in 150 + villages around the Nilgiris. The products such as beeswax soaps, lip-balms, balms, pickles, and jams are known to be produced in the villages in respective production centres.

No, our lip balms are not tinted, they have the natural color of beeswax which may consist of different layers of yellow and brown.
