Description
Carnauba Wax is a natural, plant-derived wax extracted from the leaves of the Carnauba palm. In candle making, it's used as a hardening and gloss-boosting additive — blended into soy, paraffin, or beeswax formulations to raise the melting point, add shine and opacity, and extend burn time. It's known as one of the hardest naturally occurring waxes, which is exactly why manufacturers use it in small quantities rather than as a standalone candle wax.
Supplied by Liana Health Care Pvt. Ltd., Meerut (Est. 2010), our carnauba wax is sourced for consistent candle-making quality, giving manufacturers a dependable raw material for strengthening and polishing their candle formulations.
Whether you're a startup testing your first hardened candle blend or a commercial manufacturer scaling bulk production, we supply pack sizes to match your stage of business — from small trial packs to bulk wholesale quantities.

Products Details
Fragrance oil load depends primarily on your base wax (soy, paraffin, beeswax), since carnauba wax itself is used only as a very small-percentage additive rather than the primary fragrance carrier.
| Base Wax Blend | Recommended Fragrance Oil Load | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Soy Wax + Carnauba (1–3%) | 6% – 8% | Soy carries fragrance well; carnauba addition has minimal impact on fragrance load |
| Paraffin + Carnauba (2–5%) | 6% – 9% | Paraffin carries fragrance efficiently even with added carnauba content |
| Beeswax + Carnauba (1–3%) | 3% – 5% | Follow beeswax's own fragrance guidance; carnauba mainly affects hardness and gloss, not scent throw |

What is carnauba wax used for in candle making?
Carnauba wax is used in candle making as a hardening and gloss-boosting additive, typically blended at a small percentage into soy, paraffin, or beeswax to raise the melting point, improve shine, and extend burn time.
Can carnauba wax be used alone in candles?
Carnauba wax is rarely used alone in candle making due to its very high melting point and brittleness. It is typically blended with a primary candle wax such as soy, paraffin, or beeswax at just 1-5% of total wax weight.
What is carnauba wax made from?
Carnauba wax is a natural, plant-derived wax extracted from the leaves of the Carnauba palm (Copernicia prunifera), native to Brazil, where it naturally coats the leaves to protect them from moisture loss.
Is carnauba wax the same as candelilla wax?
No. Carnauba wax and candelilla wax are both natural plant-based hardening waxes, but they come from different plants and have different properties — carnauba wax has a higher melting point (80-88°C) and is harder than candelilla wax (68-73°C).
Is carnauba wax vegan?
Carnauba wax is plant-derived, but it is not always marketed as vegan the way candelilla wax often is, since sourcing and processing claims vary by supplier. Buyers seeking a specific vegan certification should confirm directly with their supplier.
What percentage of carnauba wax should be added to a candle blend?
Carnauba wax is typically added at just 1-5% of total wax weight, with lower percentages (1-2%) suited to container candles and higher percentages (3-5%) suited to pillar or moulded candles that need maximum hardness and shape retention.
What is the melting point of carnauba wax?
Carnauba wax has a melting point of approximately 80°C to 88°C, making it one of the hardest and highest-melting naturally occurring waxes used in candle making.
Why is carnauba wax called the hardest natural wax?
Carnauba wax is often referred to as the hardest natural wax because of its very high melting point and dense molecular structure, which is why it is used in extremely small percentages to harden and add gloss to softer candle waxes.
Does carnauba wax affect fragrance oil load in candles?
Carnauba wax itself has minimal impact on fragrance load since it's used only as a very small-percentage additive; fragrance oil percentage is primarily determined by the base wax (soy, paraffin, or beeswax) used in the blend.
Where can I buy carnauba wax in bulk for candle manufacturing in India?
Liana Health Care Pvt. Ltd., based in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, supplies carnauba wax for candle making in pack sizes from 100g for startups and formulation testing up to 25kg and bulk quantities for commercial manufacturers, with wholesale B2B pricing.
Why do manufacturers add carnauba wax to soy or paraffin candles?
Manufacturers add carnauba wax to soy or paraffin candle blends to raise the melting point, improve heat resistance, add a high-gloss finish, and extend burn time, since carnauba's hardness and shine exceed what softer base waxes can achieve alone.
