North Mountain Supply sunflower wax pellets are a versatile vegetable wax option for formulators and makers working in personal care, cosmetics and candle making. Supplied in a convenient 1 lb bag, these pellets are easy to measure, melt and incorporate into a wide range of projects.
Sunflower wax is obtained from the winterization of sunflower oil, resulting in a hard, high melting point wax. With a melting point typically between 165 and 171 F (about 74 to 77 C), it contributes significant structure and stability in stick products and solid formulations. It is particularly valued for improving oil binding, helping to reduce syneresis and keep formulas uniform over time.
In personal care and cosmetic applications, sunflower wax can be used in lip balms, lipstick, salves, body balms, lotion bars, deodorant sticks and other anhydrous or low water formulations. It adds hardness, texture and strength, supports mold release and can be blended with other waxes and butters to fine tune glide and skin feel.
For candle makers, sunflower wax can be incorporated as a component in blends to adjust hardness, burn characteristics and mold release, especially in specialty or container formulations that benefit from a higher melting point vegetable wax.
This sunflower wax is not tested on animals and is Kosher certified, with an approximate shelf life of 2 years when stored properly in a cool, dry place. It is manufactured in a facility in the USA, providing consistent quality for small batch makers and larger formulators alike.
