PARAFOL
PARAFOL products are highly pure, single cut paraffins. These materials are part of the alkane category, a group of emollients that can be absorbed quickly, as well as lock in moisture to keep skin hydrated, soft, smooth, and supple. PARAFOL products also can create different velvety and non-greasy textures; improve coverage, consistency, and glide of products; increase distribution of pigments; and prolong the wear of cosmetic formulas.
Features:
Plant-derived, highly pure; clear; colour- and odourless; biodegradable; oxidative stability; temperature stability; pH stability; volatile; sharp melting profile; low heat of evaporation compatible with silicones, lipophilic cosmetic ingredients and UV filters
