In recent years, many manufacturers have begun to recognize the importance of using only natural, plant-based ingredients in their wax liquidizer. This is a very important step for the environment, as a large percentage of the world’s waste goes into landfills annually. By using only natural, plant-based ingredients, you can ensure that your waxes are biodegradable, and they will not end up in a landfill site or a water source.
