Made from renewable palm wax and ethically sourced. Can be used as is or added to existing wax to harden the wax.
Palm wax is used as a vegan replacement for beeswax in body care products and candles. It is derived from palm oil which is a a combination of olein (liquid palm oil) and stearine (vegetable fats). The wax is the vegetable fatty acids that are left after the oil has been separated out. It is primarily made up of tryglycerides that are bleached through the use of absorbent clay and deodorized through a high temperature heating process. The final product is an unscented, white to cream colored flake which is clear when melted. No pesticides, chemicals or solvents are used during the growing, harvesting or refining process.
Melting Point: 129-140 degrees F
Ingredients: 99% RBD palm wax hydrogenated
Food Grade: No; for cosmetic use only
Palm wax can be used as an ingredient for making body care products such as lip balms, creams and lotions. In creams and lotions, it will add structure to the final product. In lip balms and lip sticks, it acts as a hardener. As an ingredient for body care products, it can be added in any amount up to 100% depending on how hard or thick you want your final product. Smaller percentages of palm wax added to body care products will produce a mottling effect, medium percentages will make the product become opaque and larger percentages will produce a product with a crystallized appearance.
Palm wax can also be used as an ingredient for candle making either as an additive to other types of wax or completely on its own. Used as an additive, palm wax will help improve the burn time, harden the wax and help increase the fragrance retention. Used as an ingredient all on its on, palm wax will produce a candle that has a beautiful, crystallized appearance. This effect can be maximized by pouring wax at a high temperature (approximately 200 degrees F). As the candle cools, the crystallized appearance forms naturally.
