About
A natural wax from lavender flowers that softens skin and forms a gentle protective layer.
Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Wax is obtained from the flowers of true lavender (Lamiaceae). It serves as an emollient and skin protectant, providing a non-occlusive film that helps retain moisture. Unlike lavender essential oil, the wax fraction contains minimal volatile terpenes and linalool, making it less likely to cause sensitization. It is CosIng-listed with no restrictions.
