Cera Bellina #106

Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax. Cera Bellina #106 by Koster Keunen acts as a wax/consistency factor, plasticizer, film former, emollient, gelling agent and barrier. It is a derivative of natural beeswax where the free fatty acids have been converted to polyglycerol esters, therefore increasing the hydrophilicity of the molecule. Elimination of these fatty acids improves stability, oil gelling, and increases overall consistency. It suppresses oil syneresis and inhibits crystallization in formulation. Cera Bellina #106 is used in color cosmetics and skin care. It has a minimum shelf life of 2 years. Complies with Kosher.
