Sunflower wax is a natural and versatile wax derived from the seeds of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). This unique wax is obtained through the winterization of sunflower oil.  Sunflower Wax improves oil binding in sticks; and it contributes to hardness, texture, strength and mold release. It can also provide emolliency, film formation and lubricity and is most commonly used in lipsticks and other anhydrous color cosmetics, foundations, mascaras, skin and hair care.
