THE STORY OF NANOACTIV BW
Nanoactiv BW: Nature’s Original Skin-Protective Wax
Nanoactiv BW, also known as Cera Alba, is a natural wax produced by honeybees. Widely used in skincare, haircare, balms, and ointments, it acts as a protective, thickening, and emollient agent. Its natural composition of esters, fatty acids, and long-chain alcohols gives products structure, stability, and a soft, smooth application feel.
Harvested from Honeycombs, Purified for Cosmetic Use
Nanoactiv BW is collected from the honeycomb, then purified by melting, filtering, and deodorizing to remove residues and pollen. TRCkem supplies bothyellow beeswax (natural filtered wax) and white beeswax (fully bleached & deodorized)— each refined to meet pharmacopeia and cosmetic compliance standards.
