Carnauba Wax T1 – Natural Premium Wax from Brazil
Carnauba Wax T1 is the purest plant-based hard wax, obtained from the leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm (Copernicia cerifera). With a melting point of 82–86 °C, it is the hardest natural wax and ideal for demanding applications in food, cosmetics, and surface care. We offer carnauba wax in the following grades:
| Type | Colour | Extraction | Properties | Applications |
| Organic T1 | Prime Yellow / Primagelb | Unopened, young leaves | Highest purity and certified organic quality | Food and cosmetics |
| T1 | Prime Yellow / Primagelb | Unopened, young leaves | Highest purity | Food (25 kg only) and cosmetics |
| T3 | Light Fat Grey / Hellfettgrau | Outer leaves after weather exposure | Medium purity | Cosmetics and industrial applications |
| T4 | Fat Grey / Fettgrau | Outer leaves after weather exposure | Fewer processing steps, more natural | Industrial applications |
Applications: Versatile and Vegan
1. Food Industry (E903)
- Coating agent for confectionery: Prevents chewing gum, gummy sweets, and chocolate from sticking – a vegan alternative to beeswax.
- Preservation of fresh fruit: Protective layer on citrus fruits, apples, and pears against mould and moisture loss.
- Coffee beans & hard cheese: Increases shelf life and preserves flavour by forming a water-repellent barrier.
Note: In food products, carnauba is labelled as E903.
2. Cosmetics
- Stabiliser in lipsticks, mascara, and moisturising creams
- Vegan alternative to beeswax, especially in natural cosmetics and DIY products
The INCI name for carnauba wax in cosmetics is: Copernicia Cerifera Cera.
3. Technical Applications
- Car care: Component in car waxes and polishes for scratch-resistant, glossy surfaces
- Gloss enhancer: Carnauba wax gives furniture surfaces, wooden floors, musical instruments, and other wood surfaces a unique shine
- Moisture protection: Protects wood, leather, and other materials thanks to its water-repellent properties
Carnauba Wax as an Emulsion
When combined with emulsifiers (e.g. cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol), emulsions can be made from carnauba wax. These are water-soluble and allow for easier application, as melting the wax is no longer necessary.
Notes
Please note that this product meets food-grade requirements only in 25 kg packaging. Due to its natural origin, properties such as colour may vary slightly. Carnauba wax should be stored dry, cool and protected from light.

The manufacturer Carnaúba do Brasil from the Itarema region in northern Brazil (in the region around Fortaleza) is one of the largest and most renowned producers of carnauba wax worldwide. Very high-quality carnauba wax is extracted from the open and closed leaves of the carnauba palm (Copernicia Prunifera) and processed in a fine process. Only a part of the leaves is harvested from the palms, so that the palm is not hindered in its growth. Thus a carnauba palm can be used for many years as an important supplier for this high-quality wax.
Carnauba do Brasil has a share of approx. 20% in the worldwide production of natural carnauba wax and is therefore an important manufacturer of this product. Both flake and powder qualities are produced.
