ACACIA DECURRENS FLOWER WAX

Acacia decurrens (also known as: Mimosa wax), in German Black Pine, belongs to the Fabaceae family. The lipids from the flower extract offer a skin-caring and occlusive effect. Acacia decurrens wax contains a mixture of free fatty acids, saturated monoesters, and a large amount of odd-numbered hydrocarbon chains. As wax, it has skin-protecting and film-forming properties.
