Carnauba Wax 

Carnauba wax, also known as Brazil wax or palm wax, is a natural vegetable wax derived from the leaves of the Carnauba palm tree (Copernicia prunifera), native to northeastern Brazil. It is one of the hardest natural waxes available, with a high melting point and a glossy finish. Carnauba wax ranges in color from light yellow to brown and is widelyknown for its varied and exceptional properties.

Directions for Using Carnauba Wax

Measure and Melt the desired amount of carnauba wax and other water and/or oil based ingredients by placing them separately in a double boiler or melting pot on low to medium heat until each ingredient is completely melted. 
Combine the oil based ingredients with the wax while continuing to heat. Any water based ingredient should be combined after the wax has been removed from heat. 
Let the mix cool down while continuing to stir gently to ensure uniformity. Once the emulsion is slightly cool you can add any heat-sensitive ingredients or botanical extracts. 
Add fragrance, essential oils or natural preservatives as per your requirements after the emulsion has  cooled down to room temperature. 
Transfer, pack and store the emulsion ince completely cool in a clean and sterilized container or jar and store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight..
