Wax is not afraid of water, but it can't be contacted for a long time. Wax is beeswax, a kind of amber. Opaque or translucent amber is called beeswax. Beeswax is an organic gem, and its composition is resin, so it is fragile, afraid of strong acid and alkali, high temperature and dryness. First of all, beeswax is not afraid of water. The reason is that although the main component of beeswax is resin, it is an organic matter, but beeswax is a resin fossil, which was formed after tens of millions of years of geological changes and harsh environmental tests. So beeswax is not afraid of water. Secondly, beeswax is not afraid of water, but it doesn't mean that it can stay moist for a long time, so you can't wear it to take a bath. After all, beeswax is still an organic gem, and the organic matter in the composition will definitely be affected by long-term contact with water. Especially in the process of bathing, the water temperature is relatively high, and you will also be exposed to chemical reagents such as shampoo and shower gel. So in the long run, beeswax may crack or affect the luster. So the conclusion is that beeswax can contact with water, but not for a long time or frequently. The temperature of the water in contact should be normal indoor temperature, not boiled water or ice water, and there should be no chemical reagents in the water. Extended information: attention should be paid to the following matters in the maintenance of beeswax: 1 Like amber, beeswax is fragile and has low hardness, which is not suitable for external impact. Friction and scratching should be avoided to prevent scratching and breakage. 2. beeswax jewelry should be stored separately, not with other sharp or hard jewelry such as diamonds. 3. Beeswax is afraid of strong acid and alkali, and is easily soluble in organic solvents. Try not to touch organic solutions such as alcohol, gasoline and kerosene. 4. beeswax has a low melting point and is easy to melt. It is afraid of exposure and high temperature. Don't expose yourself to the hot sun for a long time or put it next to the heater. If it is too dry, it will crack easily. 5, the best maintenance is long-term wear, human body fat can make beeswax brighter and brighter. 6. beeswax is easy to dehydrate, and it is easy to crack if it is too dry. When not in use, try to collect them separately in closed plastic bags. 7. Be sure to use special jewelry cleaning solution for cleaning.
