Microcrystalline Wax
Microcrystalline Wax
Microcrystalline Wax is a high-quality, refined wax derived from the residue of crude petroleum or extracted from petroleum jelly through solvent processing. Unlike standard paraffin wax, Microcrystalline wax has a more branched molecular structure and longer hydrocarbon chains, resulting in a denser, more flexible, and tackier texture. These properties make it ideal for specialized cosmetic and industrial applications.
Key Benefits of Microcrystalline Wax:
-
Candle Making: Offers improved flexibility and texture, ideal for container candles and blends. It serves as an excellent alternative or complement to paraffin wax.
-
Cosmetics & Skincare: Used as a viscosity enhancer, binder, and emollient in lip balms, creams, ointments, and salves. It helps improve texture and provides a smooth finish.
-
