Description

Bloom Wax - Active Texturizing Agent for Long-Lasting Comfort and Hydration

Bloom Wax is a 100% natural, multifunctional ingredient based on a patented complex of 3 vegetable waxes (Jojoba, Mimosa, and Sunflower), designed to radically transform the sensoriality and moisturizing performance of your cosmetic products. It is not just a simple texturizing agent, but a true active that mimics the skin's lipid barrier, providing immediate comfort and hydration that persists throughout the day.

Ingredients: Jojoba Esters, Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax, Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax, Polyglycerin-3.

Characteristics

Appearance: Soft wax, beige/cream color.
Melting point: 53°C - 64°C
Quality: 100% vegetable origin (ISO 16128), suitable for natural and organic cosmetics.
Solubility: Soluble in the oil phase.

Main Properties

Durable hydration: Forms a fine, non-occlusive protective film that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
"Butter-like" Sensoriality: Provides products with a rich and unctuous texture, but with a silky and non-greasy finish.
Hydro-absorption capacity: Can absorb up to 6 times its weight in water, creating elastic and airy textures.
Emulsion stabilizer: Improves emulsion stability and facilitates the dispersion of water-soluble actives in anhydrous systems.
Anti-Irritant Agent: Soothes dry or damaged skin, quickly restoring a sense of comfort.

Tests and Clinical Studies

The efficacy of Bloom Wax has been demonstrated through rigorous in vivo studies:

Immediate hydration: Applying a formula with 5% active generated a 30% increase in skin hydration just 1 hour after application (Corneometry study).
Long-lasting efficacy: Studies on 25 volunteers showed a 25% improvement in hydration after prolonged use compared to the control.
Microrelief Improvement: Demonstrated an 8% increase in skin surface harmony, visibly reducing the appearance of dry/cracked skin.
Sensory confirmation: 100% of study participants reported a sensation of immediate comfort and lasting suppleness.

Usage Recommendations

Cosmetic ingredient. Recommended dosage: 1% - 5%.
1% - 3%: In O/W (oil-in-water) emulsions to improve spreadability and add an active moisturizing effect.
3% - 5%: In lip balms, body butters, or anhydrous (water-free) products to allow for the inclusion of water-soluble actives.

Applications

Premium moisturizing, nourishing, and anti-aging face creams.
Body care products (body butter, hand creams, balms, body creams).
Decorative cosmetics (lipsticks, foundation, mascara).
Sun care products (improves sensoriality in the presence of UV filters).
Massage balms and solid products (shampoo bars).

Formulation Guide

Procedure: Add to the oil phase of the preparation.
Temperature: Heat until the waxes are completely melted (approx. 65°C), then homogenize.
Versatility: Allows for the incorporation of up to 15% aqueous phase into anhydrous balms (sticks/balms) without compromising stability.
Technical tip: Can be used as a replacement for low HLB co-emulsifiers in natural emulsions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does Bloom Wax leave a sticky sensation?
No. Although it forms a protective film, its structure ensures a matte, silky finish, being specially designed to reduce the greasy feel brought by other vegetable oils in the formula.

Can I introduce water into a lip balm with this ingredient?
Yes, this is a major advantage. Bloom Wax allows for the homogeneous dispersion of water droplets (or water-soluble actives like hyaluronic acid) into oily bases, preventing them from separating.

Safety in Use

Profile: 100% vegetable, biodegradable, and non-comedogenic ingredient. It is safe for use on sensitive skin or in baby products.
Precautions: Store in a cool, dry place. Accidental melting of the beads in storage does not affect their chemical quality but may make dosing difficult.
