~Beeswax (Unrefined)~
The Beeswax used in Body Notions' products
retains the natural goodness because it has not been bleached and refined. It has been filtered to get large particles
out and keep the propolis, vitamins, and minerals that help nourish and sooth skin.
Did you know that beeswax
forms a light seal on your skin that helps to prevent moisture loss? Beeswax also does not clog your pores.
We love to open a new shipment of golden beeswax and smell the light honey and nectar fragrance it fills the room
with. Determined by the type of plants that nector is collected from; beeswax comes in varying shades from a
very light gold/yellow and brown to almost orange. The color of the beeswax varies from one order to the next,
so if your lotion bars change color from one order to the next,
it is the color of the beeswax influencing the color
of the lotion bar.
Beeswax and honey acts as natural preservatives. It is believed that Alexander the
Great's body was encased with honey to preserve it until it could arrive at it's destination.

~Sweet Almond Oil~
The known
goodness and use of almonds date back to biblical times.
The man who is known as the father of Holistic
Medicine in America, Edgar Cayce highly favored the almond. India has an ancient system of medicine called Ayurveda.
In Ayurveda, the almond is considered nutritive for the brain and nervous system. The constituents of almonds have anti-inflammatory,
immunity boosting and other beneficial effects shown by more recent studies.
