Synthetic japan wax is a synthetic product made of alkyl esters, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and alkanes, which is similar in composition to Japan wax. The synthetic wax acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple) and as an emulsion stabilizer (supports emulsion formation and improves the resistance and durability of emulsions).
