Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A synthetic derivative based on natural beeswax, developed in the 20th century to improve the stability and texture of cosmetic creams and balms while mimicking beeswax's protective properties.
