Organic Prime Yellow Carnauba Wax – Type 1
Product code: 6005
Unit Weight in kg: 1
Description
6005 Organic Carnauba Wax Type 1, is a 100% natural Carnauba Wax certified Organic to Cosmos standards by The Soil Association.
Carnauba Wax is obtained from the leaves of the indigenous ‘Copernica Cerifera’ palm tree, which grows in northern Brazil. The colour and quality of this product is determined by the age of the leaves and the process of extraction. Only certain processes are allowed in order to comply with organic standards, such as steam extraction rather than hexane extraction, which is the common method of extracting Type 3 and 4 carnauba wax.
6005 Organic Carnauba Wax is light in colour, flake format and is used in food, pharma and cosmetic applications.
Carnauba wax has an outstanding hardness and abrasion resistance and is compatible with many other waxes. Carnauba Wax is considered the hardest of natural waxes and produces a durable film.
We also supply Types 1, 3 and 4 Carnauba Wax non organic, in flake and powder forms.
