Cera Bellina wax is a hydrophilic derivative (which has an affinity with water) of natural bee wax in which free fatty acids have been converted into polyglycerols. The elimination of free fatty acid features in beeswax improves the gelification and retention capacity. This wax produces stable and smooth gels when formulated with a Carrier oil. In an emulsion, it acts as a co-emulsifier and a suspension agent.
