Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax

This ingredient is also known as mimosa flower wax. It is a plant-derived vegetable wax with emollient and skin conditioning properties.

One manufacturer describes this ingredient as a mix of free fatty alcohols, saturated monoesters, and odd-numbered long hydrocarbon chains. This profile is consistent with a wax that can feel like an occlusive. This mixture of compounds can make this ingredient not fungal acne, or malassezia folliculitis, safe.
