Ingredients Details
Beeswax
Common Name(s): Cera alba (white),cera flava (yellow),apis mellifera wax
CAS Number: 8012-89-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides natural wax structure and emolliency for cosmetic texture and lip balm applications.
Why It's Used: The original cosmetic wax โ provides natural, hard-texture structure for lip balms, sticks, and creams with emollient skin conditioning.
How It Works: Complex mixture of esters (wax esters), hydrocarbons (hentriacontane), and fatty acids provides semi-crystalline structure. melting point 62-65ยฐc enables stable solid products. emulsifying capacity from free cerotic acid content.
Typically Found In: Lip balms,cosmetic sticks,creams,natural cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ natural wax
Secondary Functions: Natural wax structure,occlusive conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ30%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: No โ honeybee-derived
Halal Status: Conditional โ animal-derived; verify halal certification
Source Notes: Plant-derived, synthetic or animal-derived. verify source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ low; formulation-dependent
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Beeswax's multi-component wax ester composition (myricyl palmitate as primary component) provides a unique crystalline structure that gives lip balms and cosmetic sticks their characteristic 'dragรฉe' glide โ different from synthetic wax esters that lack this crystalline lattice diversity.

Caviar Extract
Common Name(s): Caviar extract,caviar extract/water,sturgeon roe bioactive complex,luxury anti-aging protein active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers phospholipid-rich anti-aging conditioning from caviar's phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylserine complex, omega-3 dha/epa anti-inflammatory fatty acids, and vitamin a/e/d skin conditioning from the concentrated roe nutrient profile.
Why It's Used: Caviar provides the highest combined phospholipid + omega-3 fatty acid + fat-soluble vitamin density of any natural cosmetic ingredient โ the luxury positioning reflects the genuine chemical complexity and biological activity of the roe nutrient matrix.
How It Works: Caviar phospholipids: phosphatidylcholine (40-50% total pl) provides biomimetic skin membrane conditioning; phosphatidylserine (10-15%) provides ps receptor-mediated cell renewal signalling. dha (c22:6, omega-3): anti-inflammatory through pge3 pathway; resolvin and protectin precursor for active inflammation resolution. vitamins a/d/e: nuclear receptor activation for gene regulation.
Typically Found In: Premium anti-aging,luxury beauty
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ antioxidant
Secondary Functions: Free radical scavenging,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
