Tribehenin is composed of glycerin and behenic acid, a naturally-occurring long-chain fatty acid.

Tribehenin is a soft wax with a variety of effects that make it an ideal substitute for natural wax such as Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Candelilla Wax.

Special characteristics of Tribehenin:
- Non-crytalline Tribehenindoes not have a rough scaly appearance like natural wax.
- Tribehenin provides shine. In stick formulas (such as lipstick)
- Has a soft texture that makes the make-up more likely to adhere to the skin (increase pay-off).
- There is a fixed price that does not change according to the price of natural raw materials like natural wax.
- High stability, no odor, no discoloration
