CireNat® Rice Bran Wax is a by-product of Rice Bran Oil production. It is a natural hard, crystalline vegetable wax that is uniquely derived from rice husks. It has a high melt point of 79 - 85°C, low acid value and is often used as a substitute for other natural waxes. It consists of very long chain saturated C46-C62 esters, also known as Policosanols, from C20-C36 fatty alcohols and C20-C26 fatty acids. Rice Bran Wax naturally contains Phospholipids which act as binding agents, Phytosterols (healthy plant sterols) and Squalane which is moisturizing and has antioxidant properties.
