The natural attributes of waxes

The desire for natural cosmetics and personal care products has taken the industry into an exciting and challenging direction over the past few years. Indie brands and startups are now seen as proactive pioneers.

 They are growing and flourishing while leading the way forward in the segment.  These small companies are often being purchased by large multinationals to secure market share in an increasingly competitive landscape.  Store shelves are lined with all things natural, constantly evolving through innovation and reacting to customer preference.
