A natural vegetable wax derived from rice bran oil, used primarily as a structurant, thickener, film-former, and texture enhancer in lipsticks, balms, creams, lotions, and other personal care products.

Risks & Warnings

Generally low-risk in cosmetics, but as a waxy occlusive material it may feel heavy at higher use levels and can be unsuitable for very clog-prone users in rich balms. Rare individual sensitivity is possible, as with most botanically derived materials.
