Practical component: While beeswax has hundreds of applications, one for example is using it as an ingredient in a soap, lip balm or skin cream, which can be very beneficial as beeswax softens the skin, protects it heals it and is antimicrobial. Also it is somewhat waterproof. So in a cream or lip balm it is longer lasting when one does frequent hand washing or lip licking etc.

When melted down and mixed with olive oil, a neutral shoe polish can be made with versatility, as it can be used for leather softening and protection and the same can be used for veterinary application for applying to a dog's paws for winter protection etc.
