WAXES AND BUTTERS Personal care formulators harnessing
ingredients from the food world is not a new phenomenon, but it is a trend once again gathering upward momentum, which makes it the ideal time for brands to take a closer look at some of the ingredients that are currently capturing attention with consumers. There is also a larger sustainability story to

periphery products such as lotions and skin creams. Their gentler odours and textures tend to make them extremely versatile without overpowering the existing blend.
