    Glossary Wax Esters

    long-chain fatty acid and alcohol compounds in sebum

    Wax esters are long-chain fatty acid and long-chain alcohol compounds that are found in various natural sources, including the sebum produced by human skin. They play a crucial role in providing a protective barrier, helping to retain moisture and protect against environmental damage. In the context of hair, wax esters contribute to the natural shine and manageability of hair by coating the hair shaft and reducing friction.
