The protective and structuring properties that carnauba wax, candelilla wax, rice bran wax and beeswax exhibit in nature can be mirrored in your formulations. The waxes are produced to the highest quality giving stable, consistent raw materials for use as natural thickeners, structuring and glossing agents, hardeners and emollients. Applications include colour cosmetics, creams, tablet coatings, balm sticks and a wide variety of personal care applications. Reflect Formulations on your Carnauba wax is the hardest natural wax and contains mainly esters of fatty acids (80-85%), fatty alcohols (10-15%), acids (3-6%) and hydrocarbons (1-3%). Specific for carnauba wax is the content of esterified fatty diols (about 20%), hydroxylated fatty acids (about 6%) and cinnamic acid, an antioxidant (about 10%). Carnauba wax is a prominent ingredient in colour cosmetic formulas: lipsticks, eyeliners, mascara, eye shadows, foundations, blushers, skin care preparations and sun care preparations. Description Carnauba wax A hard vegetable wax used in many different applications. Car polish, glazing agents, colour cosmetics, personal care formulations, confectionaries, pharmaceuticals, special paints and enamels, insulating components and paper coating. Rice bran wax Rice bran wax is a natural vegetable wax extracted from rice bran oil. This oil is extracted from the germ and inner husk of rice and is very popular as a cooking oil in several Asian countries, including Japan and China. Because this wax is a by product of large scale production it is freely available and more price stable than other natural waxes. The main components of rice bran wax are aliphatic acids (wax acids) and higher alcohol esters, making it a high melting point wax, similar in physical properties to carnauba wax. Description Rice bran wax A hard glossy yellow wax which can be used as a replacement for carnauba wax in most cases. It can be used in a variety of industries as a thickener, binding agent, plasticiser, coating and gelling agent. It has uses in personal care products including lipsticks, lip balms, suncare, creams and lotions, where it acts as a thickener. Other uses of rice bran wax include vegetable coating for preservation, tablet coating, confectionary coating, polishes, printing inks and packaging. Reflect on your Formulations Beeswax Beeswax is secreted by worker honey bees for use in the construction of honeycomb. In its purest form Beeswax is white but most commonly seen in a variety of shades of yellow through to brown due to the natural colouring in the pollen, the age and care of the hive as well as the quantity of propolis present. The most widely recognised bee is Apis mellifera which is native to Europe, Africa and latterly China. The worker bees feed on honey in order to produce the wax which is secreted from glands in liquid form which then solidifies into wax scales. These scales are in turn transformed into comb and cappings as required. To extract the Beeswax the honeycomb is melted with hot water and the crude wax skimmed off the surface. In its raw state beeswax remains popular, after washing and filtering, for use in candle making and in the manufacture of comb foundation. For most commercial uses however, Beeswax requires further filtration and bleaching, after which it is graded into three main colours, white, light yellow and natural yellow. In personal care beeswax is used as a thickening agent and an emulsifier. It has wonderful emollient, soothing and softening properties and helps the skin retain moisture. It will not cause a problem and clog the pores but brings a host of positive attributes, such as healing and antiseptic properties to the formulation. Description White beeswax A white to ivory coloured pure beeswax with a faint characteristic odour. Our product is used in many personal care, pharmaceutical and confectionary applications including lipsticks and lip balms, creams and lotions, dental waxes, confectionary coatings, ointments, food release agents, pomades and aromatic candles. Yellow beeswax A light yellow wax with a faint characteristic odour suitable for use in the personal care, pharmaceutical and confectionary industries. It can also be used in the high end candle and polish markets. Carnauba wax This hard yellow-brown wax comes from the carnauba palm tree (Copernicea cerifera) and is found only in the north east of Brazil in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Cear and Piaui. It is known as the queen of waxes as well as Brazil wax and palm wax. The wax is obtained from the film of powder that coats the sword shaped leaves protecting them from the severe climate of the region. During the harvest period (August-January) the leaves are cut, bundled together and put out to dry in the sun. The powder is then mechanically thrashed from the leaves and graded by colour. Once refined, the carnauba wax is a very pale yellow wax. Natural waxes for personal care Candelilla wax Candelilla wax is obtained from the coating of the wax slipper plant Euphorbia cerifera. The wax is deposited on the surface of the plants, during the dry season, to protect them from excessive water loss. The Euphorbia species that produce candelilla wax is indigenous to Mexico, especially in the northern states of Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon and Zacatecas. They also occur in the southern states of the USA, Texas, California and Arizona. Candelilla wax is a popular vegetable wax and is available in pellet form. To extract the wax the plants are dried in the sun for up to two weeks, after which they are pulverised and treated with dilute mineral acid. During the extraction the wax floats to the surface and is then skimmed off to give a brittle, light brownish opaque waxy material called cerote. The colour can best be described as caf-au-lait. After solidification the crude molten wax already gives the nice and glossy appeal on the surface, so characteristic for candelilla wax in its applications. In its refined form candelilla is used extensively in the personal care industry for numerous applications including creams and lipsticks where its slip characteristics are ideal. It is also used as a thickening agent, an emollient and a film forming agent enabling water-repellence. This water repellence is excellently placed in lipsticks. The film-forming properties of candelilla wax offer the possibility to use it as a fixative for UV filters in sun care products.
