What is it?
Synthetic Beeswax is a lab-created wax designed to mimic the structure, texture, and performance of natural beeswax—without using animal-derived ingredients. It is composed of carefully selected plant-based waxes and other components that replicate the consistency and functionality of beeswax in cosmetic formulations. This ingredient is engineered to behave similarly to natural beeswax, helping to create smooth, stable, and high-performing textures in products.
Where does it come from?
Synthetic Beeswax is produced by combining plant-derived waxes, such as Carnauba Wax and Candelilla Wax, along with fatty acids and esters. These components are processed and blended to achieve a consistency and melting point similar to natural beeswax.
Unlike traditional beeswax, it is not derived from honeybees, making it a suitable alternative for vegan formulations.
