Myrica, fruit wax, vegan, 50 g

Characteristics

• Common Name: Myrica Fruit Wax
• INCI Name: Myrica Cerifera Fruit Wax
• Origin: Peru (EU country of manufacture)
• Saponification value: 210 - 240
• Melting point: 45 - 55 °C
• Yellow to off-white pellets, Myrica Fruit Wax is quite unique in that it is a naturally "hydrogenated" oil, but still solid. Very popular as a direct replacement for beeswax in vegan products. Myrica wax reduces the stickiness of creams and emulsions and reduces the "greasy effect" of products.
• The berries are sustainably harvested and monitored by the UEBT (Union for Ethical Bio Trade). No chemicals are used to collect and purify Myrica fruit wax.
• Wax is very unique because it has no double limits and is more of a naturally "hydrogenated" but solid oil. Thanks to its chemical structure (iodine number <2), it is very resistant to oxidation and therefore there is no risk of rancidity.
• Myrica fruit wax combines a low melting point of 45°C - 55°C with a high hardness value. This combination of properties gives Myrica fruit wax very good spreadability in cosmetic products. A simple body lotion gets a silky and rich feel by adding 2% - 3% Myrica fruit wax.
• Myrica Fruit Wax reduces the stickiness of emulsions and cream gels, gives hair styling products excellent adhesive properties and facilitates detangling when used in hair conditioners.
