It is World Bee Day! Hurray to our industrious flying friends! We know bees give us skincare benefits from honey, but there is also beauty benefits to beeswax. So we celebrate World Bee Day by featuring Epionce, a brand that puts beeswax to good beauty use in a range of medical-grade, botanically-based products for remarkable skincare.
Epionce and Beeswax
Epionce uses beeswax in its’ product range. What is so special about beeswax?
The Buzz About Beeswax
Beeswax is a bee by-product made from the honeycomb of the honeybee.
Beeswax is best known for its’ ability to soften the skin, such as chapped lips. But beeswax is much more than a natural lip balm.
Beeswax has an occlusive quality to provide a barrier while retaining moisture. It protects from irritants and acts as a long-lasting protective barrier layer from environmental irritants and extreme weather.
It is an anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory.
Packed with vitamin A, beeswax helps with healing, stimulates cell turnover, protects against UV radiation, and fights against the free radicals that cause premature signs of aging.
Thank you, bees!
What The Experts Say
Dr. Thornfeldt, Clinical Dermatologist and Founder of Episciences, and creator of Epionce, totally gets the potential of beeswax within botanically-based skincare.
Here is what Dr. Thornfeldt and other researchers have to say about the impact of beeswax on skin:
“Beeswax is a natural humectant with protective wax esters to help draw and lock in moisture, keeping skin hydrated, firm, and plump”
|
 |
 |
“Beeswax provides a natural, gentle exfoliation to keep you soft and smooth.” |
“It soothes irritated skin making it an excellent choice as a healing skincare ingredient.” |
 |
 |
“the perfect balance of nourishment to calm skin, keep it bacteria free, along with healing wounds and fighting infection.“ |
Beeswax is especially important in the care of our skin barrier.
Most anti-aging topicals are aggressive: retinols, aHAs, Vitamin C. They can disrupt the skin barrier with their drying, peeling side effects. But care for our skin barrier goes beyond dry skin concerns. Our skin barrier must be maintained and protected.
Why Protect Our Skin Barrier
OUR SKIN HAS SEEN SOME THINGS. BAD THINGS.
Research shows environmental stressors are a significant oxidative factor, damaging our skin barrier and accelerating skin aging.[1]
European environmental scientists concluded that air pollution, UV radiation, frigid temperatures, dust, dry air, tobacco smoke exposure, and even our cosmetics and skincare take a collective toll on the skin.[2]
It is imperative to keep our skin barrier intact. Studies also show air pollution makes skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, even worse. [3]
