Rhus Verniciflua Peel Wax
This purely plant-based wax is extracted from the peel of Rhus verniciflua, the lacquer tree (or varnish tree), a member of the Cashew family whose sap is used to produce East Asian lacquerware.
Berry wax smoothens and softens the skin, moisturizes the lips, and lends the hair a silky shine. In addition, Rhus Verniciflua Peel Wax can guard the skin against harmful environmental factors by leaving an invisible protective layer.
Berry wax provides a soft and silky feeling in skin care creams and stick preparations and improves oil binding. Rhus Verniciflua Peel Wax enhances breaking strength, lubricity, and pay-off in wax, crayons, and pencils.
