Synthetic Wax

Synthetic Wax (Cosmetic Grade)

High-Purity Structuring Wax for Controlled Texture and Stability

INCI Name:Synthetic Wax

Appearance:White to off-white solid pellets 

Solubility:Oil-soluble; insoluble in water

Typical Usage:1–15% (depending on desired hardness and structure)

Function:Structuring agent, viscosity control, texture modifier, film former

 Synthetic Wax is designed to deliver consistent structure, texture control, and thermal stability in modern formulations. Unlike natural waxes, synthetic waxes offer predictable performance, uniform melting behavior, and batch-to-batch consistency making them a reliable choice for professional cosmetic manufacturing.

How It Performs in Cosmetic Formulas

Synthetic Wax is engineered to provide reliable structure and texture without the variability commonly associated with natural waxes. Its controlled molecular composition allows formulators to fine-tune hardness, payoff, and stability across a wide range of cosmetic formats.

Primary Performance Benefits

• Delivers consistent hardness and viscosity across batches
• Provides excellent thermal stability and shape retention
• Improves texture uniformity and glide in wax-based systems
• Supports clean payoff and controlled spread in color cosmetics
• Reduces formulation variability compared to natural waxes

Formulation Guidelines

• Melt fully in the oil phase, typically at 70–90 °C
• Can be blended with natural waxes to balance sensory profile
• Compatible with common cosmetic oils, esters, and butters
• Suitable for both anhydrous and emulsified systems (oil phase)

Recommended Applications

• Lipsticks, lip balms, and lip care products
• Color cosmetics requiring structural integrity
• Stick-format skincare and makeup
• Pomades, styling waxes, and hair products
• Formulations requiring reproducible texture and stability
