Known and loved for its moisturising powers, beeswax has been used in cosmetics for over 2,000 years! We’re all about respecting the natural rhythm of the bees. Our wild-harvested Community Trade beeswax is sourced from northern Cameroon, where the beekeepers are keeping traditional sustainable beekeeping techniques alive.
Our trade with Guide D’Espoir (meaning ‘Guiding Hope’) helps provide stable employment and a fair wage to around 1,000 beekeepers, also helping to benefit the wider community – that’s 10,000 people in total!

The beekeepers sustainably harvest honey and beeswax from hives in the wild forest, just as they have done for centuries. Their beeswax is pure and free from pesticides, and certified organic by the Soil Association.
