Vegan sunflower seed wax – for stability, shine and heat resistance of formulationsINCI name: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Recommended concentration: 1-15%Sunflower wax is a double-refined, light-colored, hard wax obtained from sunflower seeds, a by-product of oil refining. It is characterized by:

High melting point: 74–80 °C
Excellent oil binding ability
Broad compatibility with polar and non-polar emollients
Increases thermal stability and reduces stickiness of formulations

Candelilla Wax / Wax

+4

Candelilla wax is obtained from the leaves of a shrub native to northern Mexico, Euphorbia cerifera. It is very rich in long-chain hydrocarbon compounds and high molecular weight wax esters. This composition makes it a very hard and brittle wax, with a fairly high melting point (70°C). These properties are highly valued for the production of cosmetic make-up products, especially for lipsticks, which make them easier to remove from the mold, and for mascaras, which make them easier to dry and last longer. This wax is also known for its excellent film-forming power, which makes it very interesting for protecting damaged lips.

Cera Carnauba / Vegetable wax

+4

Carnauba wax is extracted from the leaves of a palm tree native to Brazil: Copernica Cerifera. This wax, with a high melting point and great film-forming power, is mainly used in the production of make-up. It is a particularly important ingredient in the formulation of lipsticks, where it increases heat resistance, hardness and durability. It can also be used to thicken balms or emulsions and increase their film-forming power.

Cristalwax / Wax for the production of make-up, skin care sticks

+5

Crystalwax is an optimized solid wax with a low melting point and high refractive index for transparent sticks. This wax is used to thicken W/O emulsions such as W/O lipsticks, and is recommended for use in transparent lipsticks, transparent glosses, and colorless sunscreen sticks and other warm emulsions.Crystalwax is a blend of transparent waxes that produce a translucent lipstick combined with oils that have a high refractive index (1.490 +/- 0.001). Therefore, it is important to choose the right oils to ensure the stick has good hardness and transparency.
