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

*The Amazonian butters and oils have been tested by generations of rainforest's indigenous and ribeirinho people. They are used for cooking, baking, healing, moisturizing and protecting against the elements.

When we consume Amazonia's sustainable, non-timber-products, we give the local people an alternative to logging and farming which are the two largest responsible factors of the deforestation of such an important ecosystem.

Rainforest Chica's products are wild harvested or ethically farmed. With constant focus on sustainability and fair treatment of harvester, farmers, transporters and producers.
