Waxes are an important tool for formulators, not only improving skin feel, but also helping to repel water and improve abrasion resistance.
Waxes can be natural or synthetic, while butters are obtained from nuts, nuts, or seeds such as shea, almond, and mango. The butter melts on contact with the skin, providing a luxurious feel and a soothing, hydrating effect.
Texture is one of the key points of differentiation for personal care and cosmetic products, so waxes and butters can certainly play an important role in this and provide high levels of natural ingredients to formulas.
