Beeswax is the oldest wax known to man. It is also, along with essential oils and mineral pigments, one of the oldest cosmetic ingredients in the world. The first documented uses date as far back as 3000 BC, when ancient Chinese people used it in early nail enamels and in Egypt, where it was used to stiffen and preserve wigs.
