Lanette wax (cocos nuciferia, cetearyl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol) is a blend of raw vegetable base (coconut, palm and glucose) and chemical (ceterayl glucosie and cetearyl alcohol) that blends well in a mixture of oil and water, herbal infusions and florals. Although not completely 100% natural we have found the purest form.  A true cream has oils and water. Most lanettes contain sodium laural sulphate, but ours DOES NOT. It works beautifully as a base for cosmetic creams. For an explanation on why we use lanette wax see About Us (under products and packaging)
