Other Materials
Microcrystalline wax
MicroCrystalline wax is a type of wax produced as part of the petroleum refining process. It is a high melt point paraffin wax.
Microcrystalline wax is added to a variety of cosmetics, including creams and lotions, waterproof mascara, pressed powder, lipstick and eyeliner. In creams and lotions, the wax is used as a viscosity builder. Adding microcrystalline wax to mascara gives it water repelling properties. In pressed powder, microcrystalline wax acts as a binder and adds softness to the product. The hardness of microcrystalline wax gives eyeliner pencils and lipsticks structure to prevent them from crumbling with use.
Petroleum Jelly
Petroleum jelly is a mixture of natural oils and waxes which form a semi-solid substance.
Australian Wax Company stocks petroleum jelly in 10kg or 170kg drums.
Our range is suitable for multiple uses across the candle industry.
Stearic Acid
Stearic acid is a natural fatty acid that appears as a waxy substance. It is used as a hardening agent for candles.
It’s opacifying properties help to boost the colour of added dyes, and it’s fat cells attach to the scent of an added fragrance which prevents it from seeping out of the candle, which allows the fragrance to last longer.
