Can I wear beeswax while taking a shower?

Beeswax is a type of amber, which appears translucent or transparent. Only amber that is opaque or translucent can be called beeswax. People generally use beeswax as a decoration. It looks good when worn on the body and has collection value. When talking about accessories worn on the body, we have to talk about whether it can be worn while bathing. Let’s introduce whether beeswax can be worn while bathing?

You can take a bath with beeswax.

Amber has been petrified. It has been baptized by various acids and alkalis, geothermal heat, and ground pressure in nature. You can't even wear it while taking a shower. It has been able to survive in nature for tens of millions of years. It's okay if boiling water below 200 degrees accidentally touches the wax, but don't soak it in boiling water on purpose.

Beeswax is an amorphous body with loose tissue and does not contain other minerals. It can float on water (the English word Amber comes from Arabic, and its original meaning is "floating on water"). Beeswax generates static electricity when rubbed, and can absorb small objects such as paper scraps and iron filings. Some of it carries static electricity even without friction, and it feels like "sucking your hand" when you hold it.

In China, beeswax has been called by several different names from ancient times to the present, such as tiger amber, amber, beeswax, jade, Jiangzhu, Dunmu, Yupei and red rosin, etc., among which there are dozens of names, and they are also divided according to places and times. But now, based on the increasingly specialized amber market, the branch of beeswax has emerged. The year of fossilization is the same as other amber, ranging from 20 to 50 million years at the shortest and 60 to 100 million years at the longest. The most common mines on the market are those that have been fossilized for 20 to 50 million years. The longer the fossilization year, the rarer and more valuable it is.

Only translucent to opaque amber is called beeswax. The colors of beeswax include egg white, beige, light yellow, chicken oil yellow, orange and other yellow-based colors. It is basically a type of amber found in the Baltic and Ksinir regions of India. The jujube red beeswax is caused by the oxidation of the outer skin of yellow beeswax to produce a patina and become darker in color. Because of this, there are a lot of artificially processed and oxidized jujube red or darker beeswax on the market.

The most common beeswax is yellow beeswax, which is mainly produced in the Baltic region. The common colors are yellow, white, and some are even translucent, which are called half honey and half amber. Yellow has different shades. Old beeswax is usually dark yellow, and some are even reddish. Most of what Myanmar produces is amber, but there is also a small amount of rare beeswax. Fushun in China also produces a small amount, but it has been almost exhausted in recent years. Beeswax comes in many colors, all due to the different minerals contained in the burial geology. These rare ambers were formed more than 40 to 50 million years ago, or even more than 100 million years ago. But their number is very rare and they have extremely high collection value.
