Cera Bellina

- Lovely Cera Bellina is a derivative of beeswax in which the free fatty acids have been converted to polyglycerol esters. By combining the benefits of beeswax and the special non-ionic emulsifier activity of the polyglycerol esters, Cera Bellina improves many types of cosmetic formulations.

- In anhydrous products Cera Bellina is capable of producing remarkably stable and smooth gels with natural oils and butters.
- With Cera Bellina, plant, and vegetable oils can be gelled with low percentages.
- In finished lipsticks, lipbalms, salves, balms, body butters, and deodorant sticks Cera Bellina suppresses fatty alcohol migration and oil synerisis (sweating).
- In color cosmetics Cera Bellina helps to break up pigment agglomerates and by forming a gel network it also maintains an even distribution of ingredients.
- In emulsions Cera Bellina functions as a stabilizer and thickener by inhibiting crystallization in the oil phase and by acting as a low HLB co-emulsifier.
- Cera Bellina offers thickening and stability with a silky smooth feel

Cera Bellina is recommended for use in all anhydrous, stick products such as lipsticks and lipbalms. Cera Bellina is recommended for use in skin care balms, body butters, salves, lotion bars, and emulsions.
