Types of Natural waxes

Natural wax derives from a plant-based natural source, a yield from raw materials harvested that will be taken through several processes to extract into an oil. The extracted oil will be supplemented by hydrogen to convert unsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids and the waxes' state of liquidity changes to solidity. Wax is regarded as the most integral part of candle making and these days, natural wax is likely to be favorable among various industries such as cosmetic, vehicle, and consumable goods industries due to their non-toxic and clean burning characteristics. Types of natural waxes are described as follows:

Soy wax : a natural wax produced from soybeans. Soybeans will be extracted into an oil and supplemented by hydrogen to convert unsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids. The waxes' state of liquidity changes to solidity.
Features : medium solidity, hold fragrance, clean burning, smokeless and non-toxic
Application uses : Container candle for lotion, lip balm, soap, coatings, dry perfume, crayons, polishes, tart wax melts, cosmetics, lubricants, and inedible products.

Pillar soy wax : a natural wax is similar to soy wax in that it is produced from soybeans. This wax type is suitable for molded candles due to its harder texture which can provide a great mold release.
Features : medium solidity, hold fragrance, clean and long burning, smokeless as well as non-toxic.
Application uses : taper/pillar/votive candles for lotion, lip balm, soap, coatings, crayons, polishes, dry perfume, tart wax melts, cosmetics, lubricants, and inedible products.

Palm wax : is produced of palm oil extracted from palm fruit pulps. The pulps will be steamed and compressed before going through the extraction and distillation processes to create a ready-to-use oil for palm wax production. The aforementioned ready-to-use oil will be supplemented with hydrogen to convert unsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids. This triggers the melting point to increase and the waxes' state of liquidity changes to solidity making them able to solidify at a normal temperature.
Features : hard touch, clean and long burning, smokeless and non-toxic
Application uses : candle, soap, washing powder, toiletries, lotion, coatings, crayons, waterproof works for certain materials, cosmetics, lubricants, and inedible products.

Rice bran wax : is produced of rice bran oil derived from the extraction and compression of the rice husks after they are separated from rice grains. This is the process of eliminating certain wax and taking out the remains for further use. The waxes' state of liquidity changes to solidity making them able to solidify at a normal temperature.
Features : hard touch, clean and long burning, smokeless and non-toxic. Rice bran wax generally consists of fatty acids, esters of higher alcohol, Vitamin E and F as well as gramma-oryzanol that helps moisturize the skin like Vitamin E.
Application uses : Candle, soap, washing powder, toiletries, lotion, coatings, crayons, waterproof works for certain materials, and inedible products.

Coconut wax : is produced from edible coconut oil through the process of distillation and hydrogenation to convert unsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids. This triggers the melting point to increase and the waxes' state of liquidity changes to solidity making them able to solidify at a normal temperature.
Features : creamy texture, high moisturizer, clean burning, smokeless and non-toxic. Coconut wax is commonly used in various industries and is regarded as a sustainable raw material, a new option for the use of natural raw materials.
Application uses : candle, soap, lip balm, scrub, cream, washing powder, toileries, lotion, coatings, crayons, waterproof works for certain materials, cosmetics, and inedible products
