About this ingredient
Acacia Decurrens Flower Cera is a plant wax obtained from acacia flowers. Its INCI name is Acacia Decurrens Flower Cera. In a formula it thickens the oil phase, gives structure to balms and sticks, and lends the product a soft, creamy texture. This is a functional ingredient, not a skincare active. It does not act on wrinkles or pigmentation; its job is texture and consistency. As a structuring wax it works well and is often used as a plant-based alternative to conventional waxes. Used topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is high, with a low irritation and allergy potential. Its comedogenicity is very low (1 of 5), so it is generally not a concern, though people with very oily or acne-prone skin may want to watch how their skin responds.
