What is Beewax CAS 8012-89-3?

Beewax CAS 8012-89-3 is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, free fatty acids, esters, and long-chain alcohols secreted by worker honeybees to build honeycomb structures. Harvested from beehives and refined into white or yellow forms, it has been used for centuries due to its natural origin, pleasant aroma, and multifunctional properties. With a melting point of approximately 62–64°C, beeswax is valued for its stability, moldability, and biocompatibility, making it a sustainable ingredient across various industries.
