In the world of cosmetic raw materials, every ingredient has its own unique mission.

Today, we are proud to introduce a new ingredient in the skincare field — BIREYWAX OMW.

With its distinctive properties, it brings new possibilities to various skincare products, especially in balm-type formulations.

The INCI name of BIREYWAX OMW is OZOKERITE and CERA MICROCRISTALLINA,

and CAS numbers 12198-93-5 and 63231-60-7 respectively.

It is not a simple single ingredient, but a composite wax made from OZOKERITE and microcrystalline wax through a specific process.

This product has a relatively low melting point, strong oil-locking ability, and excellent compatibility with oils.

The oil phase compositions it forms are easy to melt and provide a silky skin feel.

It is suitable for O/W, W/O, and all-oil systems in various skincare products, particularly for balm products that require a firm, structured texture yet melt easily.

Features of BIREYWAX OMW

1. Easy to melt
   The most notable feature of BIREYWAX OMW is its ability to melt easily. When blended with oils to form a balm, it melts quickly upon contact with the skin.

2. Good oil-locking ability

3. Excellent compatibility with oils
   BIREYWAX OMW blends exceptionally well with oils. The resulting oil-phase compositions melt easily, offering a silky texture that delivers both a refreshing application and sufficient nourishment to the skin — achieving a balance between freshness and hydration.
