Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals

Thanks to their unique properties of protection, brilliance and consistency, waxes are used in a wide variety of applications in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations: as emollients to improve softness and feel, in a variety of lotions and creams (cold, moistening, cleaning) or in lip sticks, make-ups, mascaras and hair care products.
