About

Pistacia Lentiscus (Mastic) Leaf Wax is a natural wax extracted from the leaves of the mastic tree (Anacardiaceae). The mastic tree is native to the Mediterranean and is famed for its resin (mastic gum). Leaf wax provides emollient and protective film-forming properties. No GHS codes, no restrictions, and no specific CosIng function reported. Natural plant waxes are generally very well-tolerated.
