Paraffin is a blend of waxes that is used to form a candle and that provides fuel for the candle as it burns. Paraffin is one of the most plentiful and commonly used waxes today. It can also be found in a wide array of products from lipsticks to eye makeup to baby products. In household products, we use paraffin as a film former to create a protective coating or shine on a surface.

Octabenzone is a stabiliser that can also be found in polymers, paints and coatings. We use it in our products as a light (UV) stabiliser that helps prevent fading and maintains the colour of a product when it is exposed to light over time.
