Carnauba Wax 100 g

A hard botanical wax valued for its stability in heat and shine

Carnauba wax is harvested from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree and stands out among natural waxes for having the highest melting point and exceptional hardness. These qualities have made it valuable far beyond cosmetics: the wax is widely used in the food industry as a glazing agent for candies, fruit and confectionery, and in pharmaceutical manufacturing to coat tablets and capsules, giving them shine and moisture resistance. In the catalog this ingredient belongs to the category Waxes for cosmetics, which gathers components used to control texture and stability in formulations.

In cosmetic manufacturing, carnauba wax is a key ingredient for solid lip balms, sticks, solid perfumes, mascara and hair styling products. Thanks to its high melting point, it improves heat resistance of finished products, preventing deformation in warm climates, while forming a firm glossy film on skin and hair. In industrial chemistry it appears in furniture and car body polishes, leather finishing products, printing inks and wax coatings for paper. A separate, though less prominent, application today is candle making, where carnauba wax raises hardness and burning temperature.

Typical dosage in cosmetic formulas ranges from 2 to 10 grams per 100 grams of finished product, depending on the desired firmness. It should be introduced during the oil phase melting stage at 80-85 degrees, after lower-melting components have already dissolved. Carnauba wax blends well with other waxes to fine-tune hardness: paired with Natural Beeswax 100 g the texture becomes softer and more pliable, while adding Green Tea Wax 100 g brings a light antioxidant component into skincare formulations. For smaller trial batches, a lighter pack such as Natural Beeswax 50 g is a convenient option for testing different ratios.

The 100 gram pack size is well suited for home-based cosmetic making, small studio batches and testing formulations before scaling up production. Store the wax in a dry place at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, since prolonged heat exposure can alter its structure.
