What is it?

Hydrolyzed sunflower seed wax is a modified form of sunflower wax that has undergone hydrolysis—a process that breaks down the wax into smaller, more water-compatible components. This makes it easier to use in emulsified skincare products, while still delivering the protective and emollient benefits of natural waxes.

Information

Hydrolyzed sunflower seed wax is a modified form of sunflower wax that has undergone hydrolysis—a process that breaks down the wax into smaller, more water-compatible components. This makes it easier to use in emulsified skincare products, while still delivering the protective and emollient benefits of natural waxes.

Where does it come from?

It is derived from sunflower seed wax, which comes from the seeds of the Helianthus annuus (sunflower) plant. Through hydrolysis, the wax is altered to become more hydrophilic, contributing to its compatibility in various natural formulations.

What are the benefits?

SMOOTHING MOSITURIZING PLANT-BASED

What are the benefits?

  • Moisture lock: Forms a light, breathable film that locks in hydration.
  • Emollient properties: Softens and smooths the skin’s surface.
  • Texture: Contributes to the spreadability and feel of skincare products.
  • Plant-based alternative: Offers a vegan and sustainable substitute for animal-derived waxes.
  • Stabilizes formulations: Maintains consistency in creams and emulsions.

How is it used in our products?

Hydrolyzed sunflower seed wax is used in F91 Corrective Cleansing Balm from OLIVEDA.  It is included as a plant-based texturing agent. It contributes to our product's performance as a film-former, emollient, and stabilizer. The skin-conditioning and protective qualities of the natural wax create smooth, non-greasy textures, making it ideal for hydrating and barrier-protecting products.
