Carnauba Wax Flakes (Copernicia prunifera)

A little bit of Carnauba wax for your DIY projects! T1 means it is the highest quality.

Vegan, comes from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree.

Melting point of  82 ºC (179 ºF)

Very high melting point = very hard wax

Observations:

• Carnauba wax is much more like candelilla wax than beeswax

• Offers good gloss and shine in higher concentrations

• Creates a thin final product with little staying power—you’d want to pair it with something stickier for a lip balm

• Not very useful at 1:1 and 1:2 levels
