This natural wax is a complex mixture of ca. 70 % non-glyceride esters (C38->C62), ca. 12- 15 % fatty acids (C16-C36) and ca. 12-16 % paraffinic hydrocarbons (C21-C35).

The advantages of beeswax are high binding strength, pronounced plasticity, excellent emulsifiability, relatively low melting point, and highly occlusive character.

In emulsions, beeswax functions as a consistency regulator and as a (co-)emulsifier and contributes to skinfeel, emolliency, barrier function, and appearance. Compatibility of beeswax with other waxes is excellent. Koster Keunen ensures at all times the availability and constant quality of its beeswax.

This product complies to regulation (EU) No. 231/2012 for E901.
