PELARGONIUM GRAVEOLENS WAX.

Insufficient Data CAS 90082-51-2 / FRAGRANCE

Pelargonium Graveolens Wax functions primarily as an emollient and texturizer, forming a protective barrier on the skin that helps to minimize moisture loss. Derived from the Geranium plant, it also contributes a natural aromatic profile to formulations.

Summary

Science

Mechanism of Action

This wax operates by creating a surface film on the skin, thereby reinforcing the stratum corneum's natural barrier. This occlusive layer effectively reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), enhancing skin hydration and contributing to a softer texture.
