Carnauba Wax is a high melt point, hard, 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. NF Carnauba Wax is available in flake and powder form.

Orange Wax is an all-natural semi-solid wax derived from the orange peel through our proprietary process. Its chemistry is similar to anhydrous lanolin and functions well as an emollient with an excellent skin feel. Koster Keunen Orange Wax contains phytosterols which have been shown to benefit the skin in the scientific community.

Many times pure beeswax can be substituted in formulations with our Synthetic Beeswax RSB. This Synthetic Beeswax is a match of the physical and chemical properties of the natural product. This is achieved by blending a mixture of fatty acid esters, fatty acids and alcohols from a non-animal raw material source, so as to very closely meet the chemical composition of natural beeswax.
