Features & Benefits

Product Highlight
While often compared to Carnauba Wax, due to it's high melting point, there are functional differences between the two natural waxes. Rice Bran Wax is a superior binder of oils and has been useful in combining with and stabilizing oils in both anhydrous and emulsion systems. It is seen as particularly effective in reducing syneresis in lipstick and other oil-based systems.
