Our Selection of Natural Waxes
Rice Bran Wax
Rice Bran Wax is commonly used in Brazil’s cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries because it is good at softening and thickening. It is a popular ingredient in skincare products, lip balms, and ointments due to its mild nature and its ability to improve texture and moisture retention. Its edible quality also makes it a suitable option for food coatings that keep products fresh and extend their shelf life.
Sunflower Wax
Brazilian manufacturers use Sunflower Wax mainly in polishes, coatings, and adhesives because its high melting point and hardness provide better durability and shine.
