​beeswax

​(Cera Alba or Sodium Beeswax when used in soap)
​

You may have noticed we're big fans of beeswax here at Mersea Mudd Shack! It is a beautiful, natural wax that is produced by honeybees - often called natures wax. It helps to heal, soften, hydrate and sooth the skin, and may help with acne, winkles and skin damage. It is also anti-bacterial, and forms a protective barrier around your skin, while still allowing your skin to breathe.
