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.
