FSS Myrica Fruit Wax 

FSS Myrica Fruit Wax derived from berry fruit peels of the Myrica Pubescens tree native to Latin America. The wax is very unique as it has no double bounds and is rather a naturally "hydrogenated"  oil but solid. Due to its chemical structure (iodine value < 2) it is very stable against oxidation. Very untypical is the low melting point while having and exceptional hardness. This combination leads to an outstanding spreadability. FSS Myrica Fruit Wax reduces stickiness of O/W emulsions and oleogels, stabilizes stick preparations, and has excellents properties for hair styling products. In combination with fatty alchohols it can also be used in hair conditioners.
