Carnauba wax

Carnauba wax is one of the hardest waxes. Does not cause allergies. For this reason, it is used in those cosmetics where the fact of hypoallergenicity is especially important (for example, mascara or shadow). In medicine, Brazilian wax (synonymous with carnauba) is used to coat tablets.

Carnauba wax in cosmetology

Carnauba wax is an emulsifier. It is used by cream makers as a structure-forming component. Unlike lanolin (animal origin), it is not comedogenic, that is, it does not clog the skin.

Wax is added to the fatty phase, preheated to high temperature. It can be combined with beeswax or candelilla. It will make the structure of the product denser.

Carnauba wax is used for:

lipsticks; mascara; deodorants; coloring pencils; shadows and eyeliners.

Due to its high refractoriness, it is especially recommended for use in the hot season. Then the danger of balm or lipstick leaking is eliminated. That is why in Ukraine carnauba wax is purchased especially actively in spring and summer.

Carnauba wax can be combined with other waxes and various resins.

Input percentage: 1-10%

0.5-5% creams; 1-2% mascara; 2-5% lip care; 3-10% massage tiles; up to 25% candles.

Special instructions: the input percentage must be observed. For example, increasing the input in lipsticks will cause them to crumble.

Storage: tightly packed in a dry place. Provide good ventilation. Avoid too low and high temperatures.
