Carnauba wax

Description

Fábrica Torrejana’s Carnauba Wax is carefully harvested and refined to produce a consistent, high-purity wax suitable for professional manufacturing. The refined wax has a light yellow to pale color, smooth texture, and neutral odor, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of applications.

Carnauba Wax is composed mainly of esters, fatty acids, and alcohols, giving it superior hardness, gloss, and water-resistance. In cosmetics, it is widely used in lipsticks, mascaras, balms, creams, and lotions to improve texture, stability, and shine. Its high melting point (~82–86°C) ensures formulations maintain their structure even under heat exposure.

In food applications, Carnauba Wax serves as a natural glazing agent, coating for confectionery, fruits, and chocolates, providing a protective, glossy finish. Industrially, it is used in polishes, varnishes, coatings, and pharmaceutical formulations where hardness, durability, and smoothness are required. Organic-certified Carnauba Wax meets EU and NOP standards, offering an eco-friendly option for clean-label brands.

Fábrica Torrejana guarantees full traceability, batch consistency, and quality control, providing Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and technical documentation for professional use and export.
