Cutin
Cutin is a waxy water-repellent substance in the cuticle of plants, consisting of highly polymerized esters of fatty acids.
The plant cuticle, a cutin matrix embedded with and covered by wax, seals the aerial organ's surface to protect the plant against uncontrolled water loss. The cutin matrix is essential for the cuticle to function as a barrier to water loss.
