Sunflower Wax

Sunflower Wax is a natural, plant-derived wax obtained from the winterization of sunflower oil. It is a hard, brittle wax with a high melting point, making it an excellent natural alternative to synthetic waxes. Its smooth texture and emollient properties make it ideal for cosmetic formulations, enhancing stability, consistency, and texture in various skincare and haircare products.
