Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical wax functions primarily as an emollient and moisturizer, creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface. This film effectively minimizes transepidermal water loss, thus supporting skin hydration. Its properties are comparable to beeswax but without the potential for a dull or sticky residue, enhancing skin suppleness.

JASMINUM GRANDIFLORUM FLOWER CERA is recognized as an allergen, with the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) identifying sensitization as a critical concern. As a byproduct of Jasmine Grandiflorum Absolute, it may contain multiple sensitizers including benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, benzyl salicylate, linalool, eugenol, and geraniol. European Union regulations mandate declaration on product labels when concentrations exceed 0.001% in leave-on products or 0.01% in rinse-off products, despite some manufacturers reporting no known hazards to humans or the environment.
