Olive Wax

NCI: Olea Europaea Fruit & Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Olive)

Appearance: In pearls or flakes, with a color that can vary from white/pale yellow to bright yellow.

(NOTE: This wax can be presented in flakes or pearls, depending on availability.

The properties and other characteristics are the same, only differing in presentation.)

Uses: It is typically used in cosmetic formulas, thanks to its remarkable similarity to the natural oils produced in human skin.

Specifications: This wax is produced through a chemical-free hydrogenation process, using the unsaponifiable matter of Olive Oil.

It is a solid wax that melts at a temperature between 58 and 65 ºC.

It is obtained from a process of mixing different fractions of pure olive oil that allows the production of a hard wax, similar to beeswax.

It is used in natural skin care products and soap because of its purity.

The manufacturing process allows the properties and benefits of olive oil to remain intact and be delivered to the skin or hair, depending on the application.

Olive Wax offers a unique approach to conditioning both hair and skin.

With a melting point of 58º to 65ºC, this product offers stability to your formulation.

Olive Wax is a reliable ingredient and is commonly used in lip care products (balms/lipsticks), hair waxes, candles and face masks and even as car wax to give your vehicle that extra shine. !

A stable emollient wax and a good stabilizer in oil-water solutions.

Acts as a strong protective agent.

It is a very good wax for mixing with other oils, especially essential oils.

Olive Wax is a thickening agent and stability enhancer and can be considered one of the most advanced emulsification enhancers today.

Thanks to its Olive Oil "backbone", which is similar to human sebum, it offers a significant improvement to any emulsion, improving spreadability and giving the emulsion a lighter touch.

It is also very easy to work with and therefore has no special processing requirements.

It is an excellent option in hair care products, where it acts as a conditioner that improves manageability and increases silkiness.

Its use in any deep-action conditioner will help cleanse the scalp of clogged follicles, an ideal action to keep hair healthy.

It is the ideal substitute for beeswax, particularly for “vegan” products.

Olive Wax has a functional equivalent of 1:1 in replacing beeswax, which makes it easier to transform any recipe into a "vegan version".

It also has the advantage of penetrating the skin, not just on the surface.

Olive Wax, used as a substitute for beeswax, offers almost all of its benefits and none of its drawbacks.

Characteristics: mild and typical odor; oil soluble; Saponification values ​​equal to those of liquid Olive Oil (see Technical Data Sheet).

In soap making: When added to a soap formula, it adds hardness to the bar at just 2 to 3% of the total weight of the oils.
