Acacia decurrens (also known as mimosa wax), or black pine in German, belongs to the Fabaceae family. The lipids from the flower extract have skin-conditioning and occlusive properties. Acacia Decurrens wax contains a mixture of free fatty acids, saturated monoesters, and a large amount of odd-numbered hydrocarbon chains. As a wax, it has skin-protecting and film-forming properties.(1)
