For adults, white beeswax is generally safe. It’s a purified bee product used to thicken and moisturize creams and balms. Most people tolerate it well.
If you are an adult using a product with white beeswax: do a small skin patch test first if you’ve never used it; stop use if you get redness, itching, or swelling; choose products labeled 'white' or 'purified' beeswax when possible; and avoid putting it on broken or badly irritated skin.
The ingredient safety listing for this ingredient notes only low concerns overall, but there is a small allergy risk for people who react to bee products. Avoid use if you have a known allergy to bees, honey, or royal jelly. Watch for rash, itching, swelling, or trouble breathing — if these happen, stop use and seek medical help. The safety listing is the source of these low-level concerns.
