蜜蝋, or beeswax, is a natural wax produced by honeybees. It is secreted from special glands on the bees' abdomens and is used to build honeycombs, where they store honey and raise their young. The color of beeswax can vary from pale yellow to dark brown, depending on the flowers the bees visit and the age of the wax. Beeswax has various applications, including in cosmetics, candles, and food wraps. It is valued for its natural properties, such as being non-toxic and having a pleasant aroma. Additionally, beeswax is often used in natural skincare products for its moisturizing and protective qualities.
