Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees and refined for cosmetic use. It is commonly used in skincare and cosmetic products to add structure, firmness, and barrier support in balms, salves, sticks, and creams. Beeswax provides a protective, long-lasting feel and is valued in traditional and natural formulations, though it is not considered vegan due to its animal origin.
Cetearyl alcohol is a blend of fatty alcohols used in cosmetic products to thicken, stabilize, and improve texture. It helps create smooth, creamy lotions and conditioners while adding a soft, conditioning feel to skin and hair.
Unlike drying alcohols, cetearyl alcohol is non-volatile and non-drying, and is widely accepted under clean beauty standards due to its low irritation potential and strong safety profile.
Cetyl Alcohol is a plant-derived fatty alcohol commonly sourced from renewable vegetable oils such as palm or coconut. In cosmetics and skincare, it is used to thicken and stabilize formulations while improving texture and spreadability in lotions, creams, conditioners, and hair care products. It also contributes a smooth, non-drying skin feel, making it a widely used ingredient in modern and clean-leaning formulations.
Emulsifying Wax is a cosmetic ingredient used to blend oil and water into stable emulsions for lotions, creams, conditioners, and similar products. It helps build structure, improve texture, and maintain stability in skincare and haircare formulations. In more demanding formulations, advanced emulsifying wax systems such as CEB-N may be used to provide enhanced stability and greater formulation flexibility.
Golden Soy Wax is a plant-derived wax made from hydrogenated soybean oil. It is used in cosmetics and skincare as a structuring and consistency agent to add body, firmness, and a smooth texture to balms, salves, sticks, and solid lotion products. Its softer melt profile and creamy feel make it a popular choice for natural-leaning and clean beauty formulations.
