Ozokerite

A naturally derived fossil wax used to provide texture and moisture retention in cosmetics. Long history of use with no documented safety concerns in standard formulations.

Cosmetic information for general education, not medical advice. A verdict is a reading of the published evidence, never a guarantee for your skin: any ingredient can irritate someone, so patch test new products and see a professional if you react. Concern is graded on cited evidence, never on hazard-score lists. See how we score.
