Sumac fruit wax

Sumac fruit wax comes from the lacquer tree (Rhus verniciflua), native to East Asia. It is obtained from the skin of the fruit. It is a plant-based alternative to beeswax - with a creamy texture that softens gently on the skin.

In cosmetics, it gives products a solid yet pliable form, and on the skin it creates a thin layer that helps reduce moisture loss and shields against wind and frost. You will find it in our body balms, protective lip balms and lip scrub.
