Araucaria Resin is a natural, food grade blend of a glycerol ester of pine rosin (E445) and organic sunflower seed oil. It is an almost tasteless, transparent, highly viscous liquid with a high refractive index. It increases the shine of hair styling and colour cosmetic products. In lipsticks, it prevents colour bleeding and makes them much more durable. The lipsticks with Auracaria Resin get a beautiful, rich shine without leaving a sticky feeling.
