JASMINUM SAMBAC FLOWER CERA

Description

Jasminum Sambac Flower Cera, derived from the jasmine flower, is a valuable ingredient in skincare formulations. This natural wax offers multiple benefits for the skin, combining emollient properties with a delicate, floral aroma. The cera is extracted from the flowers of Jasminum sambac, also known as Arabian jasmine, through a careful process that preserves its beneficial compounds.

The wax contains a complex mixture of esters, fatty acids, and aromatic compounds that contribute to its skincare efficacy. It acts as an excellent occlusive agent, forming a protective barrier on the skin to prevent moisture loss and enhance hydration. This property makes it particularly useful in dry skin formulations and products designed for overnight use.

Jasminum Sambac Flower Cera also exhibits mild anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, potentially helping to soothe irritated skin and combat free radical damage. Its smooth texture allows for easy incorporation into various skincare products, including creams, balms, and lip treatments. The natural fragrance of jasmine adds a subtle, luxurious scent without the need for synthetic perfumes, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
