Is Beeswax The Secret to Perfect Skin ?

What is Beeswax ?

Hidden in the heart of every hive lies a golden secret...Beeswax. This gift of nature created by Honey Bees is a hidden treasure, yet to be fully explored by us. Let us take you on the journey of the creation of Beeswax.

Beeswax is made by bees to build Thier homes, the honeycomb. The wax forms the foundation of the hive holding pollen and honey. But crafting this masterpiece wasn't easy.

The bees journey begins with Honey. Honey acts as a fuel for the bees. Worker bees, 12 to 18 days old play the role of casting beeswax.Hidden beneath their abdomens are eight wax-producing glands. When conditions are just right—warm and buzzing with energy—these glands secrete tiny wax flakes.

These flakes, as thin as a petal, are then chewed and molded by the bees into pliable, translucent sheets.

But here’s the astonishing part—it takes roughly 6–8 pounds of honey to produce just 1 pound of beeswax. For one gram of beeswax, the bees would need to work tirelessly for over 1,100 hours, collaborating with thousands others

Beeswax, accumulated over time is harvested by farmers and is used in our product.

Beeswax is not just a substance; it’s a story of unity. Thousands of bees must work together, synchronizing their movements, sharing responsibilities, and trusting in the collective.

Every time you hold a beeswax lip balm or Body Butter, admire the beauty of honeycomb, remember the extraordinary effort behind it. Remember the bees, tirelessly working, creating, and gifting us with a substance as precious as life itself.

What it takes to make one single Product of Shehzadi?

It takes 1 bee 666 hours to produce 1 gram of Beeswax !!!

It takes about 1,000 wax scales from a bee colony to make one gram of beeswax. A healthy worker bee can produce about eight wax scales in 12 hours. But luckily, each hive has around 20,000 to 25,000 bees. So on average the hive produces 0.8 to 1 gram of beeswax per hour. So...how much time does it take for the bees to produce the beeswax used in Shehzadi's products....lets see.

In a jar of beeswax body butter, bees work continuously for 20 hours just to make beeswax, so every time you use our body butter, remember what it took to make it and what efforts took place so you can have the perfect skin.
