Foncepi is a traditional Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, operating since 1922 with production facilities in Piauí and Ceará. We specialize in providing high-purity vegetable wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm to industrial clients worldwide. Our focus is to support cosmetic lotion manufacturers in the selection of the appropriate grade and physical form to meet the structural and sensory requirements of their specific product formulations.
Selecting the right wax grade is a critical step for manufacturers aiming to achieve the desired consistency, viscosity, and stability in lotions and emulsions. We invite you to review our available specifications for Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax to determine which aligns with your quality standards and processing equipment. Please contact our team with your technical requirements and volume estimates to initiate a professional consultation regarding your next purchase.
Technical Specifications for Cosmetic Formulations
Carnauba wax is a highly functional ingredient in cosmetic lotions, valued for its ability to provide structure and act as an effective thickener in stable emulsions. Our portofolio includes Type 1 and Type 3 grades, which differ in their Gardner color values. Type 1 is characterized by a lighter color range, often preferred for formulations where aesthetic clarity is a priority, while Type 3 offers a distinct profile suitable for a variety of cosmetic applications.
All grades supplied by Foncepi adhere to standardized technical parameters, including a melting point range of 80–86 °C and a moisture content of maximum 1.00%. Because lotion manufacturers often require specific documentation to ensure consistency in their production lines, we provide standard technical data sheets that assist your quality and regulatory teams in validating the raw material for your unique formulation needs.
Physical Forms and Integration Methods
We supply carnauba wax in multiple physical formats, including flakes and powder, designed to facilitate different manufacturing environments. Choosing between these forms depends on your production process, specifically how your facility manages the melting and dispersion stages required for lotion manufacturing. Our flakes are standard for bulk melting, while our powder options are available in specific granulometries to support distinct mixing requirements.
Regarding powder, we offer a specification with 95% passage in a 100 mesh or 200 mesh screen, providing flexibility for your production scale. It is important that your team evaluates the dispersion characteristics of the selected powder mesh against your specific processing equipment to ensure optimal incorporation into your lotion base. We are prepared to discuss the availability of these physical forms based on your current production cycle.
Logistics and Bulk Packaging Solutions
Efficient storage and handling of raw materials are essential for any cosmetic manufacturing operation. Foncepi provides packaging options designed to balance scale and utility, currently including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. These options allow for better inventory management, whether your facility operates on a smaller pilot scale or requires larger quantities for high-volume manufacturing of lotions and skincare products.
When planning your procurement, consider that the final packaging configuration and minimum order quantities are determined during the formal quotation process. Our team coordinates international shipments to ensure the product arrives in conditions suitable for industrial use. We recommend providing your desired destination and expected order volume so that we can offer accurate information regarding export conditions and availability for your specific logistics requirements.
Quality Assurance and Documentation
For cosmetic manufacturers, the integrity of raw materials is paramount. Foncepi, as a member of the RF Group, maintains rigorous control over the production of carnauba wax from the palm harvest to the final export. While we provide essential technical data, we encourage manufacturers to request the specific documentation required for your internal quality and regulatory approval processes, such as certificates of analysis for individual lots.
Our commitment is to provide a consistent raw material that supports your efforts in maintaining product performance. We understand the stringent demands of the cosmetic industry and are prepared to assist your regulatory team in reviewing the documentation necessary to integrate our carnauba wax into your supply chain. We invite you to discuss your specific quality compliance needs with our commercial department.

Foncepi provides the technical support and product quality necessary for cosmetic lotion manufacturers to secure high-grade carnauba wax from a reliable Brazilian source.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Foncepi help us choose between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax for our lotion?
Yes, our team can provide technical specifications including melting range, acidity, and Gardner color indices. Since Type 1 is generally lighter in color than Type 3, your choice should be based on the color requirements and structural stability needed for your specific cosmetic lotion formulation.
What is the difference between the 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder options?
The difference lies in the particle size distribution. We define our powder specifications by a 95% passage through either a 100 mesh or 200 mesh screen. We recommend that your production team selects the granulometry that best fits your specific dispersion and emulsification process requirements.
What documentation can you provide for our regulatory compliance department?
For your quality and regulatory assessment, we can provide technical data sheets (TDS) and standard certificates of analysis (COA) corresponding to the material specifications. Please inform us of your specific documentation requirements so we can guide you through the process during the quoting stage.
What are your packaging options for wholesale orders?
We currently supply carnauba wax in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. The final selection depends on your warehouse capabilities and production volume. Please confirm your preferred packaging during the consultation phase, and we will advise on availability and logistical compatibility for your order.
