For dry skin, or for the winter months with dry air and cold, an organic beeswax oil is an essential remedy for the skin. Organic cold-pressed oils and protective beeswax, acts as a true moisturizing skin cream.

You can make a beeswax oil with 7% beeswax and 93% of your favorite oil. But to get the best possible skin care from your beeswax oil, you use a combination of different oils and preferably an oil-soluble extract as well. Then your beeswax oil becomes a really effective organic soothing remedy, completely natural without additives or chemicals.
