About this ingredient

A lab-synthesized alternative to natural beeswax that mimics the composition and properties of authentic beeswax without relying on bee-derived sources. It functions as an emollient and film-forming agent in cosmetics, providing texture, water resistance, and a protective barrier on the skin while maintaining the sensory appeal of traditional beeswax formulations.
