Microcrystalline Wax

Microcrystalline Wax is a high-quality, refined petroleum-based wax with a fine crystalline structure, commonly used in cosmetic formulations. Known for its flexibility, adhesive properties, and ability to blend with other waxes and oils, this wax provides enhanced texture, stability, and moisture-locking properties to skincare and personal care products. It is odorless, white to off-white in colour, and designed to meet cosmetic-grade standards for safe use on the skin.
