Specification and melt characteristics:
Melting point: 176 to 187 F (80 to 86 C)
High melt point and hardness make it excellent for heat resistant and high gloss applications
Non GMO, kosher certified and not tested on animals
Approximately 2 year shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place
Carnauba wax NF is especially valued for its ability to:
Increase thermal stability in formulas that may be exposed to warmer temperatures
Improve surface gloss and shine in finished products
Add hardness and structure to sticks, bars and balms
Enhance slip and spreadability in personal care applications
Common uses include:
Lip balms, lipsticks and solid cosmetics
Lotion bars, salves and ointments
Hair pomades and styling products
Body butters and solid perfume sticks
Polishes, coatings and other non personal care applications where hardness and gloss are important
Because of its high melt point and hardness, carnauba wax is often blended with softer waxes, butters and oils to create a balanced texture. A small percentage can significantly tighten up a formula, making it more resistant to melting in warm environments and improving overall durability.
Usage tips:
Gently heat carnauba wax flakes with oils and butters until fully melted, avoiding excessive temperatures beyond what is required for complete fusion
Start with low inclusion rates and adjust as needed based on desired firmness and gloss
Combine with beeswax, candelilla wax or other waxes to fine tune hardness, slip and finish
