Want to hear a not-so-fun-fact? Bees have to fly the equivalent of six times around the earth just to gather enough pollen to create a single pound of beeswax for their honeycombs.
Talk about a true labor of love. But your drugstore lip balms definitely don’t care.
To get beeswax, humans have to destroy the entire beehive by boiling it in water.
Luckily, we discovered that there’s a plant-based replacement to beeswax that actually works much better to emulsify, moisturize and nourish your lips — all without bothering the bees. That’s where Candelilla Wax comes in.
Absolutely. When we create all of our products at Long Wknd, we want to ensure that they are accessible and inviting for everyone. This means being inclusive and taking allergies into top consideration.
That’s why we leave out gluten and tree nuts, among a few. When choosing the ingredients for our balm, we quickly discovered that Candelilla is the perfect choice: you can use it if you have an allergy to bees, pollen or honey. It’s hypoallergenic — and beeswax is not.
