PYRUS MALUS PEEL WAX

Description

Pyrus Malus Peel Wax, derived from the peel of apples (Pyrus malus), is a natural, sustainable ingredient gaining popularity in skincare and haircare formulations. This plant-based wax offers multiple benefits for both skin and hair products. Rich in beneficial compounds such as ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, and betulinic acid, Pyrus Malus Peel Wax exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In skincare, it functions as an emollient and occlusive agent, helping to form a protective barrier on the skin's surface to lock in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss. This wax also contributes to the texture and stability of formulations, improving the overall feel and performance of products. In haircare applications, Pyrus Malus Peel Wax can provide a light hold and add shine to hair strands without weighing them down. Its film-forming properties help protect hair from environmental stressors and reduce frizz. As a natural alternative to synthetic waxes, Pyrus Malus Peel Wax aligns with the growing demand for clean beauty ingredients and supports sustainable sourcing practices in the cosmetic industry.
