Ethereal Nature Carnauba Wax 50gr - Herbal wax derived from the leaves of the palm tree

Carnauba wax is a vegetable wax that comes from the leaves of the palm tree with the Latin name Copernicia cerifera. This palm tree is a native tree in northeastern Brazilian regions, so the carnauba candle can be seen as a Brazilian wax and is known as the "King of Candles". It is obtained from leaves of the Carnauba palm, after collection and drying, initially in the form of hard yellow-brown flakes. It is followed by purification, which is accomplished by filtration, centrifugation, and bleaching. It is widely used as a coating agent for tablets, medicaments and confectioners as well as for waterproofing in industrial varnishes. It is widespread to use wax in cosmetics and makeup products such as lipstick, lip gloss, concealer and mascara.

Carnauba wax is particularly durable and does not dissolve in water, making it an ideal waterproof material. (It consists predominantly of aliphatic esters of 40% by weight), diesters of 4-hydroxycinnamic acid 21.0 wt%, ω-hydroxycarboxylic acids 13.0 wt%, and fatty alcohols 12 wt%).

Because it is so hard in its composition, carnauba wax is usually combined with other candles, such as beeswax, so that it can work more easily. Use it to a very small percentage in your cosmetics if you want to have a soft to medium texture. A rate of 0.5-1.0% is enough to make the difference.

Carnauba wax can offer glossy finish and protection, therefore it is used in car waxes, polish shoes, leather goods, dental floss, polish, flooring, furniture etc. It is still used as an alternative instead of using gelatin or silicone, but also for coating pills in the pharmaceutical industry. Due to its hypoallergenic and softening properties, as well as its glow, it appears as an ingredient in many cosmetic recipes, where it is used to thicken lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadows and other skin care products.

Carnauba wax melts at 82-86 ° C, a melting point particularly high for natural wax. To compare it, calculate that the bee wax has a melting point of 62-64 ° C. To use it, you will melt it with other candles, butter or oils as it is completely oil-soluble.

Keep well kept in a shady, dry environment for about 4 years.
