Nature as Technology
Some ingredients have proven their worth for centuries.
Beeswax is one of them.
Its ability to structure, protect, emulsify, and add texture makes it essential for industries that demand high performance and total reliability—cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food.
At Alkento, we offer a portfolio of natural and specialty beeswax solutions with proven functionality across these three industries. Our commitment: to deliver certified, high-performance materials with a strong focus on sustainability.
What makes beeswax special?
- Natural and renewable: a byproduct of beekeeping with traceable, controlled origin
- Unique texture: adds plasticity, gloss, and structure to solid and semi-solid formulations
- Stable and functional: good melting point and high compatibility with oils and emollients
- Multi-industry versatility: acts as an emulsifier, structuring agent, stabilizer or coating
Applications by Industry
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Beeswax plays a key role in formulas that require hold, gloss, protection or texture:
- Lip balms and sticks: gives body, prevents oil migration, resists heat
- Mascaras and eyeliners: enhances curl, volume, and durability
- Creams and lotions: acts as a moisture barrier, prevents transepidermal water loss
- Hair products: provides long-lasting styling and shape retention
Food Industry
In food applications, beeswax serves as:
- Coating agent for fruits, candies and baked goods
- Component in chewing gum base
- Texturizing aid in chocolate and confectionery
- Flavor/aroma carrier
Our food-grade beeswax complies with international safety and purity standards.
Pharmaceutical Applications
Thanks to its purity and well-documented safety, beeswax is widely used in pharma:
- Excipient in ointments, salves, and suppositories
- Coating agent for tablets and soft gels
- Controlled-release system in slow-dissolving medications
- Stabilizer in moisture-sensitive formulations
We provide pharmaceutical-grade options aligned with USP/EP standards.
