Product description:
Carnauba Wax is a high-quality, natural wax obtained from the leaves of the Copernicia cerifera palm tree which is native to northern Brazil. Known for its unique protective properties, Carnauba Wax naturally protects the palm from environmental stress and prevents moisture loss thanks to its high concentration of esters (approx. 85%) as well as long-chain fatty alcohols (13%), fatty acids and resins. This makes Carnauba Wax not only exceptionally durable, but also ideal for a wide range of applications in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
Carnauba Wax is highly valued in the cosmetics industry for its ability to improve product quality. Its hard, glossy finish provides an attractive surface shine and a high-quality feel, while its high melting point - the highest among natural waxes - ensures feverish temperature stability. These features guarantee that the products retain their shape and shine even under difficult environmental conditions. In addition, the wax's consistency and ease of processing makes it a preferred ingredient, enabling smoother formulation and application processes.
Carnauba Wax combines superior performance and aesthetics and is essential as a versatile, sustainable, and high-quality ingredient.
