About
A plant wax used for texture and conditioning, but its source species is related to lacquer-tree allergens, so it is not as carefree as inert waxes.
This hydrogenated plant wax is used mainly for texture and emollience. Hydrogenation likely lowers reactivity compared with raw lacquer-tree materials, but the botanical source is still associated with allergenic chemistry, so it is worth keeping some caution in the score.
