Sunflower Wax

Sunflower Wax is a natural, plant-based wax derived from the winterization of sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus). With a high melting point and smooth texture, it improves structure, stability, and sensory performance in cosmetic formulations. It is ideal for balms, sticks, creams, and natural skincare products and serves as a vegan-friendly alternative to synthetic and animal-derived waxes.

Benefits

• Improves Texture: Enhances spreadability and skin feel.
• Skin Conditioning: Offers emollient properties for smoother skin.
• Vegan & Biodegradable: Plant-derived and environmentally friendly.
• Improves Stability: Supports viscosity and stability in emulsions and anhydrous products.

1. Recommended usage level: 1% – 10% depending on desired hardness and product texture.
2. Melt with oils and waxes at 70°C – 85°C before incorporating into the formulation.
3. Add to the oil phase of emulsions for improved consistency and stability.
