Australia hosts a diverse industrial and commercial sector that depends on natural waxes for traditional uses and new product development. Mount Wilder has become one of the best producers and global exporters of high-quality, refined natural waxes. Their products serve various industries, including cosmetics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, coatings, and candle-making.
By providing refined Rice Bran Wax, Sunflower Wax, Soy Wax, and Bees Wax, Mount Wilder connects the unique benefits of natural waxes with Australia’s increasing need for eco-friendly, sustainable, and high-quality raw materials.
In Australia, the cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors are focusing on plant-based, sustainable ingredients. Rice Bran Wax is commonly found in lip care products, skin creams, and hair products because it helps with binding, texture, and stability. In the pharmaceutical field, Rice Bran Wax has coating properties useful for controlled-release formulations. Moreover, in packaging and food industries, its moisture barrier and non-toxic nature make it an excellent choice for edible coatings and eco-friendly packaging.
Sunflower Wax is becoming more popular in Australia’s cosmetics and personal care industries because of its ability to emulsify and bind. It enhances products like lipsticks, eyeliners, and skincare creams with its versatility. This wax also serves as a natural coating agent in specialty food-grade applications. As the demand for sustainable cosmetics and wellness products grows in Australia, Sunflower Wax offers formulators a natural and effective way to meet both regulatory and consumer needs.
Candle-making is a well-established craft and business in Australia. Soy Wax serves as an important renewable and biodegradable alternative to paraffin wax. Its clean-burning and low-soot qualities make it popular among both artisanal candle makers and large manufacturers. In addition to use in candles, Soy Wax is found in polishes, coatings, and packaging, which fits well with Australia’s growing focus on environmentally friendly chemistry.
Bees Wax has a long history of use in various industries in Australia. Its natural ability to repel water and its flexibility make it essential in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food preservation, and industrial polishes. The rising interest in natural products in Australia guarantees a strong demand for Bees Wax as a safe and useful raw material. From leather treatments to coatings for food exports, Bees Wax proves to be a versatile option.
Mount Wilder has a strong refining and processing setup that guarantees consistent quality and large-scale production. Our wax refineries can refine 90 tonnes of wax each month, which ensures a reliable supply for bulk orders. The larger group also manages two solvent extraction plants, each with a capacity of over 500 tonnes per day, which secures a steady supply of feedstock. Our wax refinery works alongside an oil refinery that produces 105 tonnes daily, making it easy to access feedstock and ensuring quality remains consistent. This connected infrastructure allows for large-scale deliveries to Australian industries, complete with full traceability.
Australia’s manufacturing ecosystem relies heavily on a steady supply of sustainable, high-quality raw materials. Candle production centers in Victoria, cosmetic brands in Sydney’s expanding personal care market, and food manufacturers in Queensland all need reliable wax inputs. The demand for these materials is continuously increasing.
In Australia’s thriving candle market, waxes provide clean burning, scent retention, and even texture. These qualities are crucial for both artisanal and large-scale candle makers.
Printing and publishing in Australia use wax-modified inks. These inks enhance adhesion, gloss, and resistance to smudging.
Australian manufacturing industries rely on wax coatings for protection against corrosion, resistance to water, and durability in tough climates.
Food-grade waxes are important for coating fruit, making bakery products, and glazing candy. They support Australia’s food export markets.
Australian personal care brands use natural waxes for their binding, thickening, and stabilizing qualities in lip care, creams, mascaras, and other products.
Leather and floor care industries use waxes for better shine, protection, and biodegradability.
Waxes improve adhesive formulas. They adjust viscosity and bonding strength in both industrial and consumer uses.
Controlled-release tablets and capsules improve performance, resist moisture, and enhance safety thanks to natural wax coatings that are of pharmaceutical grade.
Wax-modified paper and board coatings improve barrier properties for packaging and food-contact uses.
Our waxes are refined to reach specific melting ranges, hardness levels, and consistency. This process results in unique formulations that are ready for application.
Our dedicated research team constantly works on new ideas for industries that need better stability, improved process handling, and performance that meets market demands.
With a complete supply chain management system, from processing feedstock to delivering to end users, we keep control over cost, quality, and timelines.
Serving industries on multiple continents helps us understand global regulations and provide solutions tailored for Australian businesses.
Mount Wilder’s natural waxes offer Australian industries affordable and sustainable options to Carnauba, Candelilla, FT, and paraffin waxes. These waxes perform better and decrease reliance on synthetic or environmentally harmful alternatives. This supports Australia’s goals for sustainable industrial practices.
For Australian formulators, natural waxes that have similar hardness and gloss profiles often save costs while still meeting performance needs.
Substitutes for high-value specialty waxes, such as Candelilla, help local Australian companies stay competitive by lowering input costs.
Natural waxes offer a renewable and eco-friendly alternative to Fischer-Tropsch synthetic waxes, while still providing similar performance.
Australia is moving away from petroleum-based products. Natural waxes are a great alternative because they are biodegradable and do not limit their applications.
We collaborate with Australian businesses to offer technical know-how, tailored blends, and improvements for specific uses. Our emphasis on customization supports candle makers, food producers, and pharmaceutical innovators in getting the best performance from their products while staying sustainable.
Australia’s major ports offer strong connections for industries that depend on natural wax imports. The Port of Melbourne is the country’s largest container hub, making it perfect for supporting Victoria’s candle and cosmetics sectors. Port Botany in Sydney links directly with pharmaceutical and FMCG industries in New South Wales. Meanwhile, the Port of Brisbane effectively serves Queensland’s food and agricultural manufacturing. For Western Australia, Fremantle Port guarantees consistent access to industrial and coatings markets. Choosing the right port simplifies logistics and ensures quick delivery to important industrial areas across Australia.
