Microcrystalline Wax

Microcrystalline Wax (Cosmetic Grade) is a refined petroleum-derived wax processed to meet cosmetic standards. It features a fine crystalline structure and superior flexibility compared to paraffin wax, providing excellent binding, stability, and texture enhancement in beauty and skincare formulations. Odorless, tasteless, and hypoallergenic, it is suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications.

Benefits

1. Enhances product texture and consistency
2. Improves moisture retention and supports the skin barrier
3. Provides strong binding and emollient properties
4. Increases formulation stability and melting point
5. Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic

How to Use

• Melting Point: 63°C – 93°C (145°F – 200°F). Melt gently using a double boiler or controlled heat source.
• Blending: Add the melted wax into the oil or butter phase while mixing continuously for even incorporation.
• Usage Levels: Typically 1% – 20%, depending on the desired hardness and consistency.
• Cooling: Allow the formulation to cool while stirring lightly to ensure uniform distribution.
