Our Products
Leading Manufacturer, Supplier & Retailer of Candelilla Wax, Ceresin Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, Carnauba Wax and Paraffin Wax.
Candelilla wax is a plant based wax, derived from the leaves of the small candelilla shrub native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. The wax is obtained from the above-ground parts of the plant. The plant is dried, boiled in water (to separate the wax and the plant material) and the wax is then skimmed off by decanting. Candelilla wax is rich in nutrients and helps to bind other ingredients together, whilst also creating a workable texture that is easily absorbed into the skin.

Ceresin is a waxy mixture of hydrocarbons obtained by purification of ozokerite, a naturally occurring mineral wax. It is not a vegetable wax, but more closely related to paraffin wax (petroleum wax).Market grades are purified Ozokerite obtained from lignite. Ceresin waxes are important in rubber compounding due to their low acid number (less interference with cure) and inert qualities.

Microcrystalline waxes are a type of wax produced by de-oiling petrolatum, as part of the petroleum refining process. They differ from paraffin waxes in that they have poorly defined crystalline structure, darker color, and generally higher viscosity and melting points. Microcrystalline waxes are moisture free and range in color from a white to a brown, depending on the degree of refinement. Highly refined Micros are white. Microcrystalline waxes excellent for laminating, coating, or hardening materials.

Carnauba wax is a vegetable wax obtained from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree (Copernicia cerifera) known as the "Tree of Life." Carnauba wax is the hardest natural wax available. Carnauba wax has the ability to retain oil and has excellent gloss properties.
Carnauba wax is sold in several grades, labelled T1, T3, and T4, depending on the purity level. Purification is accomplished by filtration, centrifugation, and bleaching.

Paraffin wax is colorless or white, somewhat translucent, hard wax consisting of a mixture of solid straight-chain hydrocarbons. Paraffin wax is obtained from petroleum by dewaxing light lubricating oil stocks. Paraffin waxes are classified according to oil content, melting point, and the amount of processing put in.

Petroleum Wax, also called Petrolatum is a translucent gelatinous substance obtained from petroleum; used as a lubricant and in medicine as an ointment base and protective dressing. It is an ingredient in many cosmetics and lotions because of its moisturizing properties. Petroleum Jellies are favored by personal care and pharmaceutical companies as very versatile, safe and economical formulation base.

Emulsifying wax is a cosmetic emulsifying ingredient. It is created when a wax material (either a vegetable wax or a petroleum-based wax) is treated with a detergent (typically sodium lauryl sulphate or polysorbates).
Emulsifying wax is an ideal medium for the blending of fine creams, lotions and other fluid cosmetics which contain oil and water. An-ionic emulsifying wax is most suitable in water in oil type of emulsion, whereas the non-ionic grade is most suitable in oil in water type of emulsion. The ability of emulsifying wax to bind oil and water in perfect union is unparalleled, and today it remains the most ubiquitous substance in a cosmetic manufacturers' formulary. Emulsifying wax assists in improving the consistency and texture of final products without leaving a greasy film on the outer skin after application. It is a white waxy solid with a low fatty alcohol odour.
