Coconut wax

Coconut wax is a natural, premium wax made from hydrogenated coconut oil. It transforms the soft oil into a stable, creamy solid — typically white, smooth, and delicately scented.
Thanks to its luxurious texture and skin-friendly profile, it’s widely used in candles, balms, and solid skincare formulations.

💧 Key Benefits in Skincare

1. 🌸 Excellent Skin Moisturizer
Rich in fatty acids such as lauric, caprylic, and capric acids, coconut wax deeply nourishes and softens the skin.
It helps restore the skin’s lipid barrier and prevents moisture loss, keeping skin supple and hydrated.

2. Smooth, Non-Greasy Texture
Unlike raw coconut oil, coconut wax feels creamier and less oily — giving balms and butters a silky, luxurious finish.

3. High Stability
Its high melting point and oxidative stability enhance the shelf life and consistency of skincare formulations.

4. ✨ Emollient & Protective
Forms a soft, breathable layer on the skin that locks in moisture and shields against dryness and environmental stressors.

2. Body Balms / Solid Lotions
Adds body and glide without heaviness.
Pairs well with mango butter, shea butter, or candelilla wax for vegan formulations.

3. Massage Candles
Melts evenly and cools quickly, forming a warm, spreadable oil that’s gentle and safe for skin.
Blend with soy wax or shea butter for a smooth melting texture.

4. Creams & Whipped Butters
Enhances thickness and texture, giving creams a velvety, rich finish.

⚗️ Formulation Tips

• Melting Point: 38–42°C (varies by blend)

• Add during the oil phase of formulation.

• When using in emulsions (lotions/creams), combine with an emulsifier such as Olivem 1000 or Polawax.

• Avoid overheating to prevent separation or scent loss.
