Carnauba Wax Flakes – Hard Wax for Cosmetics & Polishing
Carnauba Wax Yellow T1 is a natural wax derived from the leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm tree (Copernicia prunifera). It is one of the hardest natural waxes, appearing as yellow-brown flakes or granules, and is valued for its high melting point and glossy finish.
In cosmetics, it functions as an emollient and thickener, enhancing product texture and providing a protective moisture barrier. It is widely used in polishing products, such as car waxes, furniture polishes, and floor waxes, due to its excellent shine and protective qualities. In the food industry, Carnauba Wax acts as a glazing agent, giving confectionery and other products a shiny, protective coating.
