Details
Carnauba wax is extracted from the leaves of the carnauba palm (Copernicia prunifera), a tropical tree that grows in northeastern Brazil. This natural wax is known as the "queen of waxes" because it is the hardest plant-based wax in existence, even harder than concrete. The carnauba palm produces this protective wax layer during the dry season to protect itself from dehydration and intense heat. Local communities sustainably harvest the leaves: they are dried and beaten to release the wax flakes, which are then cleaned. Our carnauba wax is 100% organic and sustainably harvested.
Key components and function
Esters (85%) provide the hard structure that keeps carnauba wax products firm, even when heated. They mix excellently with oils, allowing you to create stable cosmetic products where ingredients do not separate.
Free fatty alcohols (13%) give carnauba wax its smooth, shiny finish and ensure that products glide smoothly over the skin without feeling heavy.
Due to this unique composition, carnauba wax oxidizes very slowly, meaning your homemade products will last for years. The wax forms a thin, breathable protective layer that retains moisture, allowing your skin to breathe but losing less moisture.
