Beeswax offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral benefits, is an emollient and a humectant (attracting moisture from the air to the skin), and also also contains vitamin A, which may be beneficial in softening and rehydrating dry skin and in cell reconstruction. As a beekeeper, I would urge all your readers to look for skin care products that contain minimally processed beeswax, as factory-processed beeswax has been super-heated and may no longer contain these beneficial products. I use beeswax from my beehives in all my skin care products. People rave about them!

These are the ingredients for the one I used to use - I don't use the cleanser anymore. Ingredients: Purified Water, Organic blend of German chamomile, aloe vera, witch hazel and green tea. Decyl Glucoside (vegetable), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (vegetable), PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate (vegetable), rosehip oil, macadamia oil, evening primrose oil, Glycerin (vegetable), Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate (suttocide) vegetable, Citric Acid, grapefruit seed extract, tangerine essential oil, mandarin essential oil, lavender essential oil, vanilla extract.

They both contain some kind of alcohol in them. I just looked at the Sukin facial cleansers. They both contain some kind of alcohol in them.

It is nothing like mineral oil and does not require high heat to melt, if done properly. Among its multiple, valuable skin care benefits, it provides a light barrier and does not clog pores, so the skin is allowed to breathe. I will respectfully disagree with your comments about beeswax.
