Description
Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax is a plant-based wax obtained from sunflower seeds. In cosmetics, it serves as a natural thickener, texture stabilizer, and emollient. It creates a protective film on the skin, preventing moisture loss and making the product more pliable and pleasant to use. It is added to balms, creams, lipsticks, pencils, and masks as an alternative to beeswax in vegan formulas.
