What is it?
Hydrolyzed sunflower seed wax is a modified form of sunflower wax that has undergone hydrolysis—a process that breaks down the wax into smaller, more water-compatible components. This makes it easier to use in emulsified skincare products, while still delivering the protective and emollient benefits of natural waxes.
Where does it come from?
It is derived from sunflower seed wax, which comes from the seeds of the Helianthus annuus (sunflower) plant. Through hydrolysis, the wax is altered to become more hydrophilic, contributing to its compatibility in various natural formulations.
