Foncepi serves as a dedicated manufacturer and exporter of premium Brazilian carnauba wax, supporting the global supply chain for cosmetic ingredient distributors. With operations dating back to 1922 and facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, we provide high-purity, plant-derived raw materials that meet the stringent requirements of cosmetic manufacturers. Our commitment is to offer consistent product quality that allows distributors to reliably supply the specialized needs of the personal care and beauty industries.
We recognize that distributors require precise specifications to ensure compatibility across diverse cosmetic formulations, ranging from anhydrous sticks to complex emulsions. By choosing Foncepi as your source, you gain access to a reliable supply of technical-grade carnauba wax, including Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 varieties. Please contact our commercial team with your specific grade requirements and projected volume to initiate a formal inquiry.
Selecting the Right Carnauba Wax Grade for Cosmetic Applications
The selection of carnauba wax type is critical for maintaining the desired melting point, hardness, and color profile in cosmetic formulations. Foncepi offers various grades that are widely utilized in the manufacturing of lipsticks, mascaras, balms, and facial powders, among other personal care products. Understanding the specific physical properties of each type is the first step in aligning our raw material with your downstream formulation requirements.
Distributors should consider the visual and chemical characteristics of the wax, such as the Gardner color scale, which ranges from 3.50–5.50 for our Type 1 to 8.10–10.50 for our Type 3. Our technical team is available to discuss your current specification needs, ensuring that the selected material aligns with your clients' quality benchmarks. We invite you to request our technical data sheets to verify how these parameters meet your formulation standards.
Physical Forms and Formulation Compatibility
Foncepi provides carnauba wax in various physical presentations, including flakes, powder, and lumps, each suited to different industrial processing methods. For distributors serving manufacturers that require specific particle sizes, we offer powders with a 95% passage through 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens. This selection ensures that your clients can optimize their incorporation processes, whether they are blending waxes into hot oil phases or creating specialized dispersions.
The choice between flakes and powder often depends on the customer’s facility capabilities, such as the efficiency of their heating and mixing equipment. Because physical form significantly impacts the rate of dissolution and ease of handling, we recommend that you specify your required granularity during the initial consultation. This clarity allows us to coordinate the most appropriate supply from our Brazilian facilities to meet your specific operational needs.
Logistics and Industrial Packaging Solutions
Our export operations are designed to support the needs of international distributors, offering flexible packaging solutions such as 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. These options are structured to accommodate a range of procurement scales, from pilot-scale requirements to larger industrial-sized orders. Proper packaging is essential for preserving the integrity of the wax during transit and storage, ensuring that the product reaches its destination in optimal condition.
When preparing for a bulk purchase, please provide details regarding your logistics preferences and storage capabilities. While we maintain a consistent production schedule, order quantities, lead times, and packaging configurations are finalized during the quoting process. Contacting our export department with these details early in your procurement cycle helps us ensure that your shipment requirements are effectively managed.
Documentation and Regulatory Assessment
Professional cosmetic ingredient distributors require transparency and accurate documentation to facilitate the homologation of raw materials. Foncepi provides the necessary technical and safety documentation, including TDS and SDS, to assist your quality and regulatory teams in their evaluation process. We emphasize that all technical parameters are subject to analysis of the specific lot and must be verified against your internal requirements before integration.
If your distribution portfolio requires specific regulatory documentation, we encourage you to discuss these needs with our commercial team at the early stages of inquiry. Our goal is to provide the necessary data points so you can conduct a thorough assessment of our raw materials. Please reach out to us at carnaubawax@foncepi.com.br to initiate a formal request for documentation or to clarify any aspect of our product specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between the types of carnauba wax offered for cosmetic use?
The differences between Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 carnauba wax primarily concern their color profile and purity levels.

What is the difference between 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder?
The difference refers to the particle fineness of the wax powder. We supply powders with a 95% passage through either a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve. The choice depends on the specific dispersion requirements of your client's formulation process.
