Carnauba wax 30 g

Method of production: Carnauba wax (Brazilian wax, palm wax) is a wax from the leaves of the Copernicia cerifera palm tree, which grows in the north-eastern Brazilian states of Piauí, Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte. Standard dosage: 2-10%. In creams up to 5%. In lip balms and lipsticks - up to 10% Solubility: in oil. The wax is heated in a water bath together with the fatty phase of the cream until melted. It can be used in combination with beeswax, carnauba wax or vegetable waxes. Composition: carnauba wax contains mainly aliphatic esters (40% by weight), diethers of 4-hydroxycinnamic acids (21.0% by weight), Ω-hydroxycarboxylic acids, myricyl ester of cerotinic acid, esters of triacontanol, tetracosanoic and hexacosanoic acids and some other fatty acids (80-85% by weight). fatty acids (80-85 %), fatty alcohols - octacosanol, heptacosanol, not found in other waxes, myricyl, lacceryl, etc. (10-16 %), acids - palmitic, oleic, cinnamic, cerotinic, montanic, melissinic, etc. (3-6 %), lacto-acids - palmitic, oleic, cinnamon, cerotinic, montanic, melissinic, etc. (3-6 %). (3-6 %), lactones (3- 5 %), hydrocarbons (1-3 %), phytosterols (0,5 %), resins. Carnauba (Copernicia cerifera) is a palm tree growing in the northern and north-eastern regions of Brazil. The wax is collected from its shiny glossy leaves covered with a thin layer of wax. It is one of the hardest vegetable waxes that can withstand very high temperatures. Carnauba wax is sometimes used in creams as a structuriser, but the main use of carnauba wax is in decorative cosmetics. Carnauba wax is successfully used in lipsticks, hard glosses, colouring rods of pencils. In contrast to the well-known animal wax - lanolin - carnauba wax better stabilises the formulation, in addition, it is devoid of comedogenic action. It has an exceptional ability to bind liquid fat and increase the melting point of lipstick and, like candelilla wax, it is used as a consistency regulator. Thanks to carnauba wax, lipstick does not smudge or blur even in hot weather. Applications: Skin care : Used in lipsticks, mascaras, blushes, liquid powders, deodorants as a structuring component that increases their hardness and melting point. It "locks" moisture in the skin, gives a viscous, pleasant consistency to cosmetic products. Usage - regulates the consistency of creams, lip balms, lipsticks - preparation of moisturising and protective creams for face, hands and body - protective and moisturising lip balms and lipsticks - lipsticks that do not melt even in the summer heat of 45°C - massage tiles for the body Storage: in a cool dry place, keep away from light.
