Carnauba Wax Flakes (Pale Yellow)

Carnauba Wax Flakes are a natural and versatile product derived from the leaves of the Copernicia Prunifera palm tree, native to north-eastern Brazil. These flakes are harvested from the waxy film that coats the leaves, protecting them from the harsh climate. The wax is then refined and processed into convenient flake form, making it easier to measure and use in various applications.

Prized for its high melting point, hardness, and natural shine, pale yellow carnauba wax flakes offer a wealth of benefits.

In the world of cosmetics, they are a key ingredient in lipsticks, lip balms, mascaras, and lotions. The wax adds structure and stability to these products, preventing them from melting at high temperatures and ensuring smooth application.

For furniture and car care enthusiasts, carnauba wax flakes are a secret weapon for achieving a high-gloss, long-lasting shine. The wax forms a protective layer that repels dust and water, leaving behind a brilliant finish.

Beyond cosmetics and polishes, pale yellow carnauba wax flakes have industrial applications as well. They are used in food and confectionary coatings, adding a beautiful sheen and aiding in moisture retention.

In the pharmaceutical industry, carnauba wax flakes act as a binding agent and coating material for pills and tablets.

The versatility of this natural wax extends even further, finding uses in textiles, printing inks, and even carbonless copy paper.
