Beeswax does not irritate the skin, and its lipids possess moisturizing effects that enhance skin nutrition, leaving the skin soft and elastic. In cosmetics, beeswax is predominantly utilized for thickening, emulsifying, stabilizing, coloring, and antibacterial purposes. Furthermore, beeswax can be molded into various formulations such as creamy, oily, and honey-like textures, including lipstick, lip gloss, sunscreen, face cream, and eye cream.

Beeswax, with its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, serves as a raw material in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of various medications, including topical ointments, soft ointments, and oral tablets. Its medicinal application aids in treating conditions such as skin infections, burns, ulcers, and eczema. Furthermore, medicinal beeswax accelerates wound healing, minimizes scar formation, and significantly benefits recovery from trauma and post-surgery.

Beeswax has begun to be used as an additive in green food, coatings, packaging, edible films, as well as a carrier for flavoring agents and as a chewing gum inhibitor. Especially, beeswax can prevent water evaporation and inhibit microbial growth during the preservation and transportation of vegetables and fruits, extending the shelf life of fruits and demonstrating a very broad utilization value.

Beeswax finds extensive applications in various fields such as candle making, wax painting, wax printing, printing ink, lost wax casting for bronze ware, and mounting of calligraphy and paintings. Due to beeswax's relatively strong inertness, its ability to retain its shape at low temperatures, and its waterproof and insect-proof properties, many handicrafts crafted from beeswax have been preserved from ancient times to the present day.
