Ash Ingredients Sunflower Wax

Ash Ingredients Sunflower Wax is produced through the winterization of native sunflower oil. It has a pale yellow color and is available in the form of beads, pellets, or chunks. Ash Ingredients Sunflower Wax is known for adding gloss to lipsticks, mascaras, and hair care products. Furthermore, because of its superior oil gelling properties, it can be used at low concentrations to reduce the greasiness of oils. Proven to have the highest gel strength of all waxes, this wax reduces the greasiness level in oils, lowers syneresis and migration, adds a high gloss in cosmetic applications, and imparts temperature stability (a melting point of 78 - 80°C). With greater than 98% wax esters, this wax creates a strong network of crystals that imparts strong tensile properties. Accordingly, this wax can be utilized as an alternative for rice bran wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, and mineral waxes.
