CERA MICROCRISTALLINA
MICROCRYSTALLINE WAX is a mixture of long-chain saturated hydrocarbons, both straight-chain and branched, containing more than 35 carbon atoms. It is obtained from residual oils through solvent crystallisation, a process that concentrates this combination of hydrocarbon chains in the waxy material.

CERA MICROCRISTALLINA: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetics, it can serve as a binding agent, helping keep the components of a mass or stick together. It also contributes to emulsion stabilisation, opacifying a formula by making its appearance less translucent, and viscosity control, which adjusts the product's consistency.
