About this ingredient

Copernicia cerifera wax is a natural wax extracted from the leaves of the carnauba palm tree native to Brazil. It functions as a film-former and emollient in cosmetic formulations, providing a protective barrier on the skin and contributing to a smooth, polished finish. This ingredient is prized for its hardness, gloss-enhancing properties, and ability to improve product texture and wear resistance.
