Hi soldier Crab. I already have a response from Yes. I have copied and pasted it below for you.
In a nutshell ingredients are clearly displayed on Yes OB tubes so anyone with a bee allergy who may be worried about bees wax can read for themselves.. Yes OB in pre-filled applicators do not contain bees wax. Here is their response to me.
Hi Sue
How encouraging that the lady found some YES in her local chemist!
Well this is a completely new one for us! Firstly it is important to specify that only the YES OB in tubes contains Bees Wax (organic). YES OB in Applicators contains no Bees Wax. We have never heard of any correlation between an allergy to bee stings and the topical application of a product containing Bees Wax. We would imagine that anyone with a severe allergy would always read the ingredients list and be acutely aware of what they can and cannot tolerate.
The only reason we know of for alerting customers to the presence of Bees Wax, is for Vegans who prefer no to use anything that has any association with animal derivatives. All our water based products and YES OB in Applicators are suitable for Vegans.
I hope this is helpful but it may be possible that there is a regulation that we are not aware of in Australia to display a warning for products containing Bees Wax.
Kind regards
