Beeswax Lotion Embrace the Luscious Beauty Secrets of the Beehive
Honey and bee products have a long-standing history of benefits in both the allopathic and the naturopathic worlds of medicine.
Many of us eat honey and use bee products simply for the enjoyment of doing so, but did you know that they have a wide variety of health benefits as well?
Second only to honey in terms of it’s popularity, beeswax is becoming a major player on the natural health market, especially for it’s use in and as an additive to plant-based lotions.
That is, one of the best and easiest ways to get your “daily dose” of beeswax is in the form of beeswax lotion. Just rub it on to your skin, sit back, and enjoy the benefits!
Benefits of Beeswax Lotion/Honey Body Lotion
Beeswax Lotion (also called honey body lotion) can be both purchased at your local natural health food store or made easily at home with the help of a few simple ingredients. But you may be wondering, ‘why bother?’
In comparison to traditional lotions that may be laden with toxic chemicals and other ingredients that you can’t even pronounce, beeswax lotion is a completely natural solution that has a number of unique benefits that include:
- Excellent hydration of your otherwise dry, cracking and painful skin.
- An abundance of nutrition for your skin, including high amounts of Vitamin A and B-vitamins.
- The peace of mind in knowing that you’re treating your skin to only the best natural products.

Beeswax Lotion Base Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup beeswax pellets or grated beeswax
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup almond oil or olive oil
- Optional: Essential oils for fragrance (e.g., lavender, peppermint, citrus)
Instructions:
- In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the beeswax, coconut oil, and almond oil (or olive oil) together, stirring occasionally until fully melted and combined.
- Once melted, remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly. If you're using essential oils for fragrance, you can add them at this point, stirring well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into clean, dry containers, such as jars or tins. Allow the lotion to cool and solidify completely before sealing the containers with lids.
- Your homemade beeswax lotion is now ready to use! Simply scoop out a small amount of lotion and massage it into your skin as needed. The lotion will be thick and luxurious, providing deep moisturization and protection for dry or rough skin.
- Store the lotion in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It should keep for several months, but be sure to check for any signs of spoilage, such as changes in color or odor, before using.
Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your preferences by adjusting the ratio of oils or experimenting with different essential oil combinations for fragrance. Enjoy the nourishing benefits of this homemade beeswax lotion on your skin!
