Carnauba wax

Carnauba wax is derived from the leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm ( Copernicia cerifera ). It is the hardest wax in existence. It comes in the form of light yellow flakes and has a pleasant, slightly sweet scent. It melts at a temperature of 82–86°C. It is used in the food industry (chewing gums, sweets, etc.), in cosmetics, in dentistry, in the automotive industry as a polishing wax, and also for polishing furniture and parquet floors, as it can be buffed to a high shine.

The wax is not water-soluble, so in cosmetics it is added to the oil phases of our products. It is used as a thickener, viscosity regulator, moisturiser, and as a skin protectant. Carnauba wax should be melted separately before being added to the oil phase.

Usage: in creams, ointments, lip balms, lipsticks, protective creams, lip glosses, etc.
