Carnauba, which is the highest melting point natural wax, can impart gloss, hardness, slip, and improved thermal stability to a variety of applications. It comes from the Carnauba palm that only grows in the northern and northeastern Brazil. Quality and color vary with the age of the leaves. The younger leaves provide the prime #1 yellow color, and the older ones provide the darker T-3 and T-4 wax.

Synthetic Beeswax is a match of the physical and chemical properties of the natural beeswax. Synthetic Beeswax consists chiefly of a mixture of esters of even-numbered, straight chain acids and alcohols containing 16-36 carbon atoms. The match to natural beeswax is achieved by blending a mixture of fatty acid esters, fatty acids and alcohols from a non-animal raw material source.

Bee's Milk is a natural dispersion of Beeswax in water. Bee's Milk makes it possible to 'Cold Formulate'. A formulator is able to get the benefits of Beeswax in a formulation without having to heat that phase of the formula. The lipid composition in Bee's Milk closely, mimics the natural lipid composition of the skin, thus copying the skin's own natural secretions, making Bee's Milk natures emollient. Bee's Milk is stabilized, and is compatible with surfactants and other compounds of high ionic strength.

Chemists should choose the properties that are critical to their formulation; melt point, penetration, or gel strength. They are non-hazardous,non-toxic, and non-irritating for skin and eyes.

Siliconyl Carnauba Milk (Wax #558B) is a stable <500nm wax dispersion with unique formulating advantages. This dispersion couples the properties of Carnauba Wax with Silicones to produce a multifunctional performance additive designed for cold formulating. Siliconyl Carnauba Milk has application as a film former and functions at low usage levels between 2% and 10%. Siliconyl Carnauba Milk improves barrier properties, water repellency, slip, and diminishes surface imperfections. It is ideal for use in mascaras, sun care, creams, lotions, and hair care.

Carnauba Wax is a natural vegetable wax from the leaves of the palm Copernicia Cerifera, native to Brazil. Quality is determined by the age of the leaves and is categorized by color. Carnauba Wax has a high melt point, high gloss, and is the hardest of the natural waxes.
