Cosmetic Grade Insect Wax-CAS 9000-59-3
Cosmetic Grade Insect Wax (Chinese White Wax) is a rare natural animal wax refined from insect secretions through multi-stage physical purification and deep deodorization processes. As a high-end exclusive raw material for premium cosmetics, it fills the performance gap between plant wax and mineral wax.
Plant waxes are tough but insufficient in gloss, while mineral waxes are hard but poor in flexibility. Insect Wax perfectly balances ultra-high flexibility, natural high gloss and moderate hardness.
It has excellent low-temperature crack resistance and high-temperature stability, which can effectively improve the molding integrity and surface delicacy of solid cosmetics.
Its unique breathable protective film has mild emollient and barrier repair effects, bringing comfortable and non-greasy skin feeling. With stable formula compatibility and texture adjustment ability, it is the preferred core material for high-end, high-gloss and anti-cracking cosmetic formulas.
