Ski wax starts off with either a hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon wax. Fluro adds water-repelling power, but is worse for the environment.
Manufactures can then add lots of additives to improve speed, including additional fluorinated ingredients, graphite, molybdenum, or other powders. All of those powders decrease friction, either due to water or static electricity.
