Is beeswax good for your skin?

I used a homemade moisturizer all over myself made from equal parts beeswax and coconut oil melted together and cooled. At first I loved the sealing effect it had on my skin. After three days of it not coming off, two showers per day,( the water just beaded up) I started to panic a little bit. I wound up using liquid hand soap and a nail brush (ouch-but I was desperate!) to scrub it off. Then a wash cloth with bar soap and finally I felt like my skin could breathe again! Yes my skin looks surprisingly OK, but I need to be able to remove substances from my skin. (like at least once a day) I have read on the web that olive oil would have helped to dissolve it, but I didn't know this till after so I didn't try it. I can still feel it on my legs. I may try a lotion that contains beeswax, (like Burt's Bees) but it will be in a smaller concentration, because it helped a lot with my eczema.
