Description
This lab-created alternative to natural beeswax acts as a moisturizing agent that helps soften skin while also thickening cosmetic formulations to achieve the desired texture. It's commonly used in creams, balms, and lip products to provide structure and enhance the product's feel on skin. Safety data for this synthetic version is currently limited, so consumers with sensitive skin may want to patch test products containing this ingredient.
