Microcrystalline Wax

Microcrystalline Wax is a refined, odorless, and flexible wax derived from petroleum. It has a finer crystal structure compared to paraffin wax, offering superior elasticity, adhesion, and oil retention properties. Its creamy texture and high melting point make it ideal for a wide range of cosmetic and personal care formulations. This wax is used to enhance texture, stabilize emulsions, and improve product consistency in balms, creams, salves, and sticks.
