A petroleum based wax that comes in a variety of forms, all with different melting points and therefore different performance and feel. Overall ozokerite is often used for solid products like lipsticks.

Overview
Ozokerite is a type of natural clay that has several different functions.
A main function of this ingredient is its ability to opacify, which can apply to changing the appearance of a skincare product or to altering the way it applies coverage to the skin, like in a full coverage foundation.
Ozokerite can also work as a viscosity controlling agent, in which it thickens systems, such as lotions and creams. In much the same way, it also serves as a binding agent that holds systems together and helps prevent them from separating due to instability.
