Guiding principle

Beeswax is a product of light and warmth. Bees form tiny scales of wax, which they sweat out of their wax glands located on their abdominal segments. With their mouthparts they chew these scales and mix them with glandular secretion to build hexagonal honeycombs.
Beeswax is the carrier of mild, fine-scented warmth. It stimulates blood circulation and relieves pain and cramps. It strengthens self-healing forces.
