Adding 12% Phytowax (INCI: Hydrogenated Olive Oil Stearyl Esters) brings a fondant touch to the formulation while providing texture. Its combination with olive oil allows the wax to be well-incorporated to the formula. The formula additionally features phytosqualan and plum oil, both upcycled from the food industry.
