What is it?
Polyglyceryl-3 beeswax is a naturally derived emulsifier created by combining beeswax with polyglycerin. It has a wax-like consistency and is valued in skincare formulations for its ability to blend oil and water components while providing a smooth, moisturizing effect.
Where does it come from?
This ingredient originates from natural beeswax, which is harvested from honeybee hives, and polyglycerin, a compound derived from glycerin (typically sourced from plant oils). The two are combined through a process called esterification, resulting in a multifunctional ingredient used in natural skincare.
