Product Description
Ceresin Wax is used as a stiffening agent in creams and ointments, and as an emulsion stabilizer, opacifier, viscosity control agent, and thickener in pharmaceutical protective, topical, and vaginal creams. It is also used in cosmetics and personal care products. As a wax, it helps harden lipid-based solutions like pomade or balm. Ceresin Wax also reduces brittleness and adds strength and stability to various stick cosmetics, such as lipstick. It is useful in binding with and stabilizing the oil portion of an emulsion and as a melt point modifier. In personal care applications it is valued as an emollient and for its film-forming properties.
Exceptional Purity and Versatile ApplicationWhite Ceresin Wax stands out for its high purity (>99%) and adaptability across a range of industries. As a neutral, mineral-based wax, its cosmetic and pharmaceutical grade certification make it ideal for creams, lotions, ointments, and personal care products. It also sees use in food packaging and candle making due to its inert and stable properties.
Safe Handling and Storage GuidelinesFor optimal shelf life, White Ceresin Wax should be stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight. This security ensures the wax retains its quality for at least 24 months. Proper storage, coupled with packaging in robust HDPE bags or boxes, contributes to stability and ease of bulk handling.
