Beerenwachs
INCI: Rhus Verniciflua (Peel) Cera
Berry wax cannot be used higher than 1-1.5% in water-emulsified O/W emulsions if you use other consistency enhancers (fatty alcohols or stearates). In W/O emulsions with a high lipid content it can be dosed higher; 3-5%. In oil gels, approx. 4-5% is sufficient for optimal cosistency.
Fields of application: Lip and care sticks, oil gels as well as O/W and W/O emulsions in skin and hair care and he
decorative cosmetics. Berry wax cannot simply be exchanged for another wax in formulations.
The low melting point must be taken into account and compensated with a wax with a higher melting point, such as candelilla or carnauba wax.
