Carnauba Wax

CAS#: 8015-86-9 Carnauba Wax is both hypoallergenic and emollient, making it well suited to many cosmetic formulations where thickening as well as gloss are required. Due to its high melt point, it can help to harden otherwise too-soft lip and body balms. On its own, it is a brittle wax, hence it is typically combined with other waxes, primarily beeswax, in formulations.  Carnauba Wax is considered vegan, and has little to no natural scent; because of this, it is very useful in many applications in cosmetics such as lip balms and lotion bars. It is worth noting that Carnauba Wax is harder than beeswax, and has a higher melting point, so your formulation may need some adjusting to accommodate the change in wax ratios when adding it to existing formulations.
