Waxes and butters can provide personal care formulations with a wide range of benefits. From thickening, hair styling, and moisturising, to exfoliation and gloss enhancement.
Butters can be derived from numerous seeds, fruits and vegetables and are semisolid fats that remain solid at room temperature. The type of benefit provided to consumers differs according to the source material but all butters provide rich sensory qualities to cosmetic formulations.
