Ozokerite

Ozokerite is a naturally occurring mineral wax, often found in petroleum deposits. In cosmetics, it functions as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and emollient. It helps to stabilize formulations, provide structure to products like lipsticks, and create a protective barrier on the skin to prevent moisture loss.
