Ingredient
Ozokerite
Low risk
FunctionStructuring Agent
What it is — Ozokerite (INCI: Ozokerite) is a naturally occurring mineral wax used as a structuring agent.
What it does — It is commonly used to give balms and sticks firmness and a stable structure and to help bind oils into a solid, consistent format.
Typical use — Found in balms, sticks, rich creams and colour cosmetics.
Who it suits / good to know — Broadly suitable; it is a texture and structure aid rather than a skin active, so there is little for the skin to react to.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review, reflecting an inert mineral wax. This is general information, not medical advice.
