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.

Citronella oil naturally masks scents that attract insects, making it difficult for them to locate you, providing a protective barrier.
