Avocado Wax 100 g

Bringing structure to lip balms and solid creams with avocado wax

Avocado wax is separated from avocado pulp oil during processing, and its firm texture at room temperature is exactly why it has become a popular thickening agent across several industries. This product belongs to the butters category, which brings together natural components capable of giving structure to formulations without relying on synthetic thickeners. The strongest demand for avocado wax comes from skincare and personal care manufacturers, who use it in lip balms, solid lotion bars, deodorant sticks and body balms that require a firm yet skin-melting texture.

In studio and industrial cosmetic production, avocado wax is valued for raising the melting point of finished products, which matters for goods that need to withstand storage and shipping during warmer months. Beyond cosmetics, the wax is used in candle making to increase the firmness of the wax blend and improve fragrance retention, and occasionally in food applications as a natural coating for certain products. Pharmaceutical formulators sometimes rely on similar plant waxes as a base for ointment-type preparations thanks to their compatibility with skin.

In formulations, avocado wax is typically added at 5 to 15 grams per 100 grams of the oil phase, depending on the desired firmness of the final product. Lip balms usually need around 8-10 grams, while firmer sticks and solid deodorants call for 12-15 grams. The wax should be introduced during the oil phase preparation, melted in a water bath at roughly 65-70 degrees Celsius alongside other solid ingredients, then removed from heat before adding heat-sensitive components such as essential oils and vitamins.

Avocado wax pairs well with other plant butters, allowing formulators to combine its firm texture with the nourishing properties of different oils. Adding avocado butter boosts the softening effect of the finished product, while blending with Shorea Stenoptera Seed Butter helps achieve a denser, more stable structure for sticks that need to hold their shape even in warmer conditions. The light, fruity Passion Butter softens the wax base further and adds a smoother glide on skin.

The 100 gram size is well suited for small studio batches and trial formulations, when a formulator is testing the right ratio of wax to oils before scaling up to a larger production run. This amount is enough for several dozen units of small-format finished goods, making avocado wax a practical choice for cosmetic workshops and emerging brands.

Avocado wax should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations, in a tightly sealed container. Under proper storage conditions the product retains its properties for a long time and requires no special handling during transport.
