Description
Carnauba wax is a natural wax obtained from the leaves of the Copernica Cerifera palm tree originating in Brazil. It is used in various fields, for example in the food or pharmaceutical industry.
Due to its hardness and melting at higher temperatures, carnauba wax is often used in the formulation of cosmetic products. It provides stability to lipsticks, cosmetic pencils and mascaras, which maintain their consistency and structure even at higher temperatures, which is an important aspect for maintaining stability, for example, in contact with the skin or in summer.
As an ingredient contained in cosmetic products such as balms, deodorants or some creams, it also acts as a protective barrier that creates a thin film on the skin, depending on the dosage, relatively resistant to water.
