Features

  • With Nature in mind, we put a spin on the traditional, yet so effective cold cream.
  • The Koster Keunen formula for Nature’s Cold Cream and Make Up Remover still utilizes Beeswax as its primary water-in-oil (w/o) emulsifier, but is borax-free.
  • Use daily as a moisturizer, cleanser, or make-up remover.

Ingredients

  • Beeswax: Primary water-in-oil (w/o) emulsifier.
  • Kester Wax K-24: A suitable replacement for mineral oil, having the same slip and film-forming properties.
