About this ingredient

Ozokerite is a naturally occurring mineral wax derived from fossilized organic matter, consisting primarily of hydrocarbons. It functions as an emollient and occlusive agent that softens and smooths the skin while providing a protective barrier. This ingredient is commonly used in lip balms, creams, and protective skincare products.
