Synthetic carnauba is a synthetic product made from alkyl esters, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and alkanes that is based on the composition of cera carnauba, also known as carnauba wax.
The synthetic wax acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple) and as an emulsion stabilizer (supports the formation of emulsions and improves the resistance and durability of emulsions).
