Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax

Acacia decurrens flower wax is extracted from the delicate and fragrant yellow flowers of the black wattle, a tree native to Australia. The plant is well known in perfumery for its sweet, warm, honey, and iris-like odor.

This wax, sometimes known as Mimosa wax, is added to skincare products as an emollient to provide a soft and pleasant after-feel. Like many other waxes, it is an occlusive moisturizing ingredient. It has a sweet scent and is rich in plant sterols (fat-like compounds).
