How to use cosmetic wax in cosmetics

Cosmetic waxes are a group of products of plant and animal origin, which are esters of fatty acids and higher alcohols with one atom. These substances are in a solid state. They are plastic, do not allow water to pass through and melt easily.

If you make decorative cosmetics (pencils, lipsticks and lip balms, mascara), creams, massage tiles, you need to buy wax, because it is the structure-forming element of these products.

As a result, products of the desired consistency are obtained and thermal stability is increased, especially of water-in-oil emulsion creams. The wax content in cosmetics is always insignificant, in contrast to the role it plays. Its properties are unique. Cosmetic wax is similar to sebum in properties and chemical formula. The substances in its composition contribute to the formation of a thin protective film on the skin, preventing degreasing. Waxes are also used for depilation.

What is the best wax to buy?

Here are the origins of waxes divided into:

1. Animals (beeswax, lanolin, spermaceti),

2. Herbal (carnauba, candelilla, rose, lavender, jojoba, jasmine, etc.) wax.

Certain types of waxes contain biologically active substances, which enhances their beneficial effects on the skin.
