Feature
●INCI: Copernicia Cerifera Cera
●Carnauba wax is widely used in wood and automotive polishes where its glass like shine and silky smooth finish offer water repelling properties. Compatible with most waxes (including beeswax, vegetable and mineral waxes) and also a wide variety of natural and synthetic resins, Carnauba wax is the hardest known natural wax in the world.
●Exuded from the leaves of Copernicia Cerifera Palm as a means to reduce evaporation. Carnauba Wax has a mixture of approximately 85% esters, 13% free long chain fatty alcohols, 2% free fatty acids and resins. A very hard, high melt point natural wax. Improves firmness, temperature stability, mould release and surface gloss.
●Carnauba wax is yellow in colour and is often applied to cosmetics as an emulsifier or thickening agent. This material is insoluble in water and in alcohol, however it is soluble on warming and incorporating Ethyl Acetate and Xylene. The wax is in flake format allowing the handling of the material far easier.
●Carnauba Wax is used in makeup and personal care products to prevent liquid and oil elements from separating. It also creates a creamy consistency and helps give some items, like lipstick, their structure, so they can be molded and shaped. Also widely used as a car polish.
