Beeswax is a natural hydrophobic phase change material. Its proper use in superhydrophobic coatings means increased use of eco‐friendly materials in superhydrophobicity and also functionality. These low‐cost coatings can store latent heat and can be eventually implemented in solar heating and cooling of buildings for significant energy savings.
