About

Soft, naturally derived wax from rosemary flowers that helps condition and protect skin.

Rosmarinus officinalis flower wax is a plant wax composed primarily of long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons, fatty acids, and minor amounts of triterpenoid compounds. Waxes of this type are generally inert and well-tolerated on skin. The EU cosmetics regulation does not impose specific restrictions on rosemary-derived waxes as they contain negligible essential oil residuals. The ingredient functions as an occlusive emollient providing protective barrier formation without significant biological activity.

  • Occlusive emollient that forms a protective barrier on skin
