Carnauba wax is a plant-based wax which is also the hardest, natural wax available.
It is extracted from the leaves of the palm tree Copernicia Cerifera, which grows in Brazil. It consists of wax esters (85%), free fatty acids, fatty alcohols and resins (15%).
The wax comes as yellow flakes/powder and it only has a very faint smell.
It is a vegan alternative to beeswax and can, among other things, used to make creams, pomades and ointments. One of its good properties is that it is emollient and moisturizing in skin care products.
Carnauba wax is somewhat harder than beeswax and therefore the recipes for what you have to make have to be adjusted down a bit. beeswax if you replace it with it.
The wax has a melting point of 80°-85°
You can also use carnauba wax to make vegan beeswax paper. See how to do it here in our guide
