Sapiens. — Organic Beard Balm 60ml

Sapiens Organic Beard Balm is an anhydrous formula—water-free—which gives it distinct properties compared to emulsions and oils: high oxidative stability (no water = no microbial growth, hence no hydrophilic preservative), a thermolabile solid texture, and an enhanced occlusive effect on the hair fiber. The consistent structuring quartet includes: shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii), the softest ingredient, providing creaminess and skin emollience; beeswax (Cera Alba), the balm's primary structuring agent, responsible for its consistency; cocoa butter (Theobroma Cacao), offering a nourishing component rich in stearic and palmitic fatty acids; and carnauba wax (Copernicia Cerifera), the hardest of the four, which enhances beard style hold and provides shine. Organic castor oil completes the formula with its conditioning film of ricinoleic acid. Non-negotiable critical point for advice: CERA ALBA (beeswax) is an ingredient of animal origin. This product is NOT VEGAN. This information must be visibly placed on the product sheet and systematically communicated during sales. Do not recommend to strict vegan or vegetarian profiles who exclude bee products. The claims "Vitamin E prevents hair loss and improves growth" and "Castor oil stimulates growth" from the manufacturer's website do not have authorized EU cosmetic claims—they are not reproduced here. The formula is described for its actual functional properties (nutrition, structure, protection). The fragrance profile (7 allergens, photosensitizing coumarin) is identical to Wild Forest oil. The same precautions apply.
